Ocean-Inspired
Design: Kieryn Alexander
The ocean has taken the spring/summer 2021 season by storm.
The ocean is a never-ending gift that offers us refuge, rebirth, serenity, and inspiration. Designers have often capitalized on the ocean’s bounty: shells, pearls, reefs, waves, nets, corals, creatures of the deep, and more. This season is no different, but the message and intention are not something to be overlooked.
As we move forward past these uncertain times the ocean remains a haven of life and beauty waiting to be seized. Now is the time!
