Reminscensce was inspired by a hotel in Shangai called The Waterhouse. The iconic hotel was a headquarters for the Japense army during WWII. It later became a top design hotel, deliberately retaining the original structure of the building while adding modern elements to its design and structure of the building while adding modern elements to its design and infrastructure. This blend between tradition and modernity translates into the pieces in reminiscence through the combination of traditional and modern, conceptual design. The olve and khaki color scheme and blocking represent the old architecture. Color blocking is used to illustrate the combining of old and new elements. THe drawstring technique prevalent throughout the collection allows for the altering of the shape and volume of the pieces. This effect speaks originally for the evolution and changing aesthetic of the historic building.
