MY CREATIVE PROCESS:

My work is grounded in vintage and a strong sense of restraint, where proportion and intention feel inherent. I’m drawn to contrast: masculine tailoring against softness, structure against ease, pieces that feel worn in but considered. The process is instinctive, editing down until only what matters remains. Each story is built with a quiet sense of direction. Nothing excessive, nothing accidental.

ARTISTS WHO INSPIRE ME:

I’m consistently drawn to the discipline and clarity of designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, and Phoebe Philo work that feels controlled, but never rigid. Houses like Chloé and The Row continue to shape how I think about ease, proportion, and restraint. I’m also influenced by the imagery of Vogue, where styling feels intentional, but never over explained. More than anything, I’m inspired by work that leaves space where the viewer can feel something without being told exactly what it is.

PROJECTS I FIND EXCITING:

I’m most drawn to editorial stories that feel restrained but emotionally charged, where styling supports a larger visual language rather than competing with it. I’m interested in projects that explore identity through subtle shifts proportion, layering, texture. Stories that feel cinematic, slightly detached, and grounded in reality rather than fantasy. Work that feels informed by fashion history while still remaining modern is where I naturally operate.
