Amelia Thomas luxury evening wear collection, Perception, examines the relationship of perfectionism within fashion; taking inspiration from dance movement. A dichotomy of chaos and control is expressed within the materials. Amelia utilizes a sustainable, non-toxic thermoplastic. She hand molded and painted a thermoplastic corset bodice.
