Inspiration 

When asked to participate, Ross’ creativity went into overdrive. The theme “Lovestruck” was his starting point, and he aimed to create a unique design that embodied feelings of love and joy.

His process took him on a journey of reimagining a field of flowers enveloping the body and creating an architectural structure that would provide volume and shape. Hundreds of hand-formed flowers were applied to a neoprene base to create a dramatic silhouette that feels young and modern with a haute couture mood.

At the core of his design, Ross applied pink crystals in the form of a heart. This dazzling focal point was the heart and soul of his creation – bringing Lovestruck to life!
