Shaunielle Foster: Unconventional Material Challenge

Shaunielle Foster Shaunielle Foster: Unconventional Materials Challenge What inspired your look for the Unconventional Material Challenge? My Unconventional Material look was inspired by the today's reality. We are in a time where love is few and far in between, and the constant reminder that with just one button it could turn to war. I hope that the dress brings awareness to the simple things in life we take for granted, such as a hug, a high five, or just being human.
