THE FASHION RUNWAY has always captivated me.
The infinite variations of texture and pattern.
How they are cut, sewn and layered. The transformation
both of materials and those wearing them.

Interior design has a similar hold on me.
The form of couches and chairs supplements my curiosity
of the effect of external decoration to self-perception.

These are the muses driving this work.

Feminine gestures are extracted from furniture pieces,
serving as models for couture.

Nature’s raw materials are collected, inventing textiles.

Juxtaposition creates an uncomfortable position between
cosmopolitan cocktail party and primitive countryside.

Instinctively, the work strives to create something remarkable
out of the most unremarkable resources.

On the other hand, maybe it’s just a naive game of dress up.
