Supernova's Witness (4/4/26)

Supernova’s Witness was made for the 2026 Prom season. A supernova is a gigantic explosion at the end of the star's lifetime that, in one big kaboom, briefly outshines the rest of its galaxy. The matter that it leaves behind creates black holes, or smaller stars. Supernova’s Witness was created to reflect the idea of putting on a dazzling show before going out with a bang in my senior year. I chose the complementary blue and gold theme, lending it regal elegance, with a flowy cape evoking the vastness of space. According to the BBC, it’s estimated there is enough clothing right now for the next 6 generations to wear, and so this garment is made of 100% recycled fabric and materials, down to the handmade jewellery and beaded sleeves. It comments on the uninspirational and bland world of men's fashion by pushing boundaries of what “masculine” clothing can look like.
