The Victorian era gave us many great inventions that we still use today - bicycles, Morse code, ice cream as we know it, and even the telephone. The era of Queen Victoria's reign, though, had some pretty bizarre happenings too. Such as ladies getting stuck in doorways because of their extra big dress skirts and constantly fainting as a result of very tight corsets. Also, the London fog did exist, and it comprised of nothing else than heavy pollution from coal mines and the city being in regular fires. Victorians were oddly obsessed with Egyptology and makeup, especially lipstick, which was compared to witchcraft. To add even more fun to the mix, the social rules and behavior codes were amazingly strict.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION: "Invisible Woman" Domestic chores have historically been considered ‘women’s work’, freeing upmen to engage in more productive jobs. Today’s women are significantly engaged in theworkforce, but household chores continue to be viewed as the woman’s responsibility.As an adult I question the invisible stereotype that women’ s jobs are not important.Growing up in a Korean-American immigrant family, both of my parents worked. Iexperienced the hardships of ‘women’s work’ firsthand as my mother worked two jobs,her domestic job out of sight, and her professional job outside the home. One day mymother revealed that she felt invisible, treated like a housekeeper in her own home.Therefore, to honor all women who have felt taken advantage of by the stereotype, Ipresent my collection, “Invisible Woman”. My hope is that my work will show a greatappreciation for women who have dedicated their entire lives to their family instead ofthemselves. I want them to realize they are beautiful women. About the Designer Alice, born and raised in Pennsylvania, is a fashion designer based in New York. She specializes in high-end womenswear and couture gowns. From a very early age, she found her niche in fine arts. She was fascinated that she could create something that never existed before, and she could give it meaning. These childhood memories led her to explore fashion design which was an outlet for her to express herself even more. Since she strongly believed “fine feathers make fine birds”, she started her education in fashion design to share her own visions for empowering others based on her experiences. In Alice Eugene Seon’s thesis capsule collection, Invisible Women, Alice applied silhouette research and draping techniques to find unique silhouettes in designs that are rooted in her personal anecdotes and experiences. Throughout the 2023 BFA Parsons Fashion Design collection, she eloquently liberates and empowers women by creating strong women figures with a sense of humor infused in her collection. She will continue her education and personal studies in fashion design that empowers women as a fashion designer.
