My Senior thesis collection pays homage to the sport of motocross, which despite my initial aversion, has played a significant role in my life. The influence of motocross in my family, particularly through my father's professional athletic career in the 1980s and my brother's subsequent involvement, was formative. However, as a child, I felt ostracized by the sport and its enthusiasts, which made me resentful of it.
Now that I am older and have gained a fresh perspective, my appreciation for motocross has grown, and I am thrilled to showcase my collection in honor of it. The collection incorporates elements from the protective gear worn by motocross athletes and reimagines them into unique pieces. As a result, this collection is particularly meaningful to me, and I am eager to share it with others.
