Sunny’s second collection debuted in 2017 during the FashioNXT runway show in Portland, Oregon. A departure from her first collection, her designs showcased a renewed focus on the Pacific Northwest bride’s desire for classical elegance and contemporary minimalism. The collection featured bold and refreshing gowns that upheld a delicate balance between sheer textiles, clear décolletage, plummeting backlines, and a mixture of classical and asymmetric silhouettes.

When describing the bust, the area of skin ranging from above the clavicle to approximately mid-sternum, generally above the bustline. In commercial fashion, this can refer to the length of the neckline having a low-cut and exposing skin. From the French adjectival décolleté when describing a dress with a low-cut or strapless neckline that reveals the neck and upper chest.

Sunny’s SS19 collection features an entirely refined approach, owed primarily to the exceptional speed at which she’s evolved technically and artistically, as well as the nuance in her textile selection. Her satins are firm and maintain their silhouettes while laces and tules add subtlety and softness. The results feel organic yet sculpted, traditional yet forward thinking, and always at the behest of the wearer.
