Honestly, I would love to revisit and redesign this collection. Adding this project to my portfolio is funny because I stand by what I created at the time; but looking at it now, there is a clear lack of execution here. I designed this collection during a time of my life when I knew very little and didn’t know how to say anything I thought– I didn’t know who I was. I know a lot more now, duh, as age and confidence grows. I think this collection is a clear indication of the old Kennedy. Someone with a vision, sorta, but definitely someone in need of a lot more life experience.
I’d like to see what the new Kennedy would do. Wouldn’t you?
