Newsworthy, 2019

Paper

In a world where material is often chosen for convenience over craftsmanship, I wondered what beauty might surface when you work with what’s overlooked or unwanted. These pieces are quick  explorations of form shaped by material: how paper folds and bends, how the unexpected opens new possibilities.

Fashion, after all, doesn’t have to start with fabric. Sometimes, it begins with what’s left behind.

GOT GAME?, 2019

Editorial

This editorial plays with the friction between what’s expected of femininity and what it’s capable of. While sport and style might seem at odds, here they move together—graceful, absurd, and entirely unbothered by practicality.

Afters, 2019

Cotton, Polyester
Tailored from an upcycled suit and skirt, Afters moves between work and whatever comes next. It’s made for transition—for staying yourself, even when the dress code shifts. A detachable sleeve and asymmetrical cut take it from professional to playful, from boardroom to bar.

Haute Couture

KUMOMA, 2019

Cotton, Tule 

Kumoma—the space between clouds—evokes the feeling of this kimono: airy, suspended, fleeting. A pleated front panel, inspired by origami and the work of Issey Miyake, brings structure to the piece. Sheer panels at the shoulders let the sleeve float below, as if the body is momentarily detached from its shape.
