The project is entitled “Spirited Beings”, a four piece collection of mythical creatures from the tales of magic and enchantment. Horned and armored creatures were shown wearing gothic and structural pieces in leather, lace, satin, wool and crepe.

The pieces incorporate themes of repetition and radiation to form warrior like uniforms while incorporating themes of femininity, strength, and dark power. Motifs of bridges, circles, tribal art work, and futuristic elements can be seen.

This collection was created by Nika Tang, with help of her team, Josie Adele, Anton Stroganov, Mark Ostrom, and Jesse Kauppila.
