Introducing Blue Angels
Leland gal 2020 Collection

Growing up in Northern Michigan, there is a time in July, when everyone runs outside and you can hear the sound of the Blue Angels coming to town. It never gets old—the alarming sound is always thrilling, and the giddiness behind it only reminds us we are all young at heart. When the Air Show comes to town, you'll be sure to hear it and catch it from where ever you are ...

It's a unique perk of our Northern Michigan culture, so I worked through how to recreate this feeling of excitement for my 2020 Collection. One important part was color, not necessarily exactly as seen in the sky, but more about how color emulates the feeling. And the directional lines emphasize the speed, power and fun.
