The home of wearable art inspired by nature.
The fusion of my childhood experiences with innovation and creativity has profoundly shaped my perspective and pursuits. Each piece I create serves as a reflection of my artistic journey – a journey that celebrates the beauty of nature, embraces the power of creativity, and explores the boundless possibilities of self-expression. In my designs, I allow the chosen mediums to tell their own stories while endeavoring to capture the intangible.
In my journey of apparel design, I exclusively work with natural materials such as silk, cotton, flax, and wool. By embracing these organic fibers, I honor their inherent qualities, allowing their textures and patterns to guide my creative process. Inspired by the unique characteristics of each fabric, I embark on a design exploration where innovation and tradition seamlessly harmonize. To satisfy my analytical inclinations, I delve into inventive approaches to pattern making and cutting, occasionally daring to defy the conventions of traditional tailoring. This willingness to push boundaries opens up new avenues of creativity, resulting in garments that are both visually stunning and structurally innovative. While I eagerly embrace modern techniques, I also pay homage to the timeless wisdom of ancient practices. Incorporating age-old techniques like felting into my designs adds depth and richness, infusing each piece with a sense of heritage and craftsmanship. This fusion of past and present creates garments that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also rich in cultural depth.
To complement the dresses, I design statement necklaces from an eclectic mix of natural materials – gemstones, glass, precious metals, and dried flowers – capturing the essence of my creative journey. These materials serve as my palette, allowing me to weave intricate designs that reflect the richness and complexity of nature itself. Yet, my creative process goes beyond simply selecting materials. I strive to create pieces that exude a distinctive attitude. At times, this involves revealing the poetic beauty of petrified nature inherent in the gemstones – a mesmerizing glimpse into Earth’s rich history encapsulated within a single stone. Other times, it entails incorporating unexpected details into the design, disrupting the visual rhythm and inviting the viewer to perceive the piece in a new light. To bring my vision to life, I employ a diverse range of techniques, traversing through time and tradition, drawing inspiration from ancient goldsmithing practices to cutting-edge innovations like microwave kilns.
Additionally, I am deeply passionate about contemporary approaches to fashion design, encompassing concepts such as zero waste, sustainability, and environmental mindfulness. These principles resonate deeply with my values, driving me to explore ways of creating artifacts that are not only aesthetically appealing but also environmentally responsible. To this end, I’m constantly exploring novel mediums and techniques.
