Te’Arrow Hoggard,

Born in Raleigh, North Carolina, Te’Arrow Hoggard currently lives and works in Bloomington, Indiana. She recently graduated from Indiana University in the spring of 2016 with a BA in fashion design. The inspiration for her collection Dark Fantasy comes from the curves of a woman’s body; the goal is representing a healthy body image for all women regardless of size. Throughout her years of college, Te’Arrow struggled with her own body image. But fashion allowed her to address this issue in a physical medium, creating beauty and body positivity both outside and within. The collection Dark Fantasy is the culmination of this journey. Black with a hint of gold, Dark Fantasy revels in seductiveness and celebrates the female form. The collection consists of bodysuits, a romper, and dresses made from a variation of different lace, stretch knits, and houndstooth jacquard. These looks accentuate the women’s curves, a visual essay on confidence and the power of femininity.
