Musing Neptune, explores the afro-fantasy influenced realm of design and fashion and showcases Talor's small couture collection of victorian era inspired dresses. Influenced by Black escapism and the creative results made from it, Musing Neptune speaks to the ways Black people use creativity to distract themselves from racially traumatic experiences resulting in creative fictional sub-genres centered around Black culture.

Each outfit has an illustrated print on the fabric sewn together to make the bodice, skirt, and sleeves. The imagery consists of Talor's main character, Lua, exploring (and escaping to) three regions of a fantasy world called Musing Neptune. Talor depicts each region Lua visits through the color palettes used in the illustrations which subsequently flow into each of the created outfits. The color palettes distinguish the region's environments and connect with the clothing and imagery created.
