Vanessa Nash-Spangler, B.F.A. Fashion Design, was born in Germany and was raised in Chandler, Arizona.
Her collection was inspired by the Fibonacci Sequence and hexagons. Nash-Spangler is very familiar with textiles as she worked with Britex for a period of time while in school.
With a mathematical inspiration and a focus on craftsmanship, the garments all relate back to geometry. On top of the artisanal quality of the designs, the eye-catching collection features vibrant colors in lightweight materials such as tulle, silk and organza.
The designs feature a dreamy quality with lightweight, ethereal materials and oversized ruffles and flowers.
