What are you working on right now that genuinely excites you?
I’m currently developing a ready-to-wear collection that translates the language of my previous avant-garde work into everyday pieces. The aim is to preserve the same sense of strength and presence, while making it wearable and relevant to a woman’s daily life. My process always begins with the women I design for, and I approach each piece with the intention of empowering her through structure, material, and silhouette. The collection is set to launch in the coming year, and I’m excited to present my design language in a way that can truly live within a wardrobe. As with all my work, the collection focuses exclusively on natural materials, with an emphasis on leather, wool, and silk.
How do you navigate the tension between creative work and financial sustainability?
I tend to approach fashion from a business perspective as much as a creative one. I often question where the line between fashion and art lies, and for me, if a piece isn’t desired and worn, it belongs more to the realm of sculpture than fashion.The woman I design for is always at the center of my process, whether it’s ready-to-wear or custom pieces for private clients. My goal is for her to feel that what she’s wearing reflects her and elevates her presence. When that connection is strong, it naturally builds loyalty. At the same time, I work with high-quality, natural materials, which requires me to be very conscious of value. I see it as my role not only to design, but also to define and communicate that value clearly. As a young designer, learning to balance creativity with a strong business mindset is essential to sustaining my work long-term.
What has been the most difficult period in your journey so far and what got you through it?
I think one of the most difficult moments isn’t failure, but the point just before success, when there’s suddenly something to lose. The expectations grow, both from yourself and from others, and the pressure becomes much more internal.
Fashion is a very personal field. You’re constantly putting something out into the world that comes from a very intimate place, and the feedback can feel direct and exposed. Learning not to let that destabilize you is an ongoing process.
What grounds me is a strong sense of purpose. I’m not just creating garments, my work is about empowering women and shaping how they experience themselves. That clarity helps me move through doubt and stay focused on the bigger picture.
Who would you want to collaborate with?
Collaboration is already a core part of my practice. I often work closely with silversmiths and metal artisans, developing custom elements that are fully integrated into the garments. I’m very interested in the dialogue between fashion and object, where clothing becomes something structured, almost constructed.
Looking ahead, I’d like to expand this approach by collaborating with brands that share a strong focus on materiality and craftsmanship. For me, the collaboration has to feel like a natural extension of the work, not just a name attached to it.
Where do you see your brand in five years?
In five years, I see my brand established across both the U.S. and European markets, positioned within a space that balances edge with wearability. I’m particularly drawn to the U.S. market, where there is a strong appreciation for pieces that feel both distinctive and functional, with a sense of quiet sensuality.
Alongside that, I aim to develop a physical retail presence, allowing clients to fully experience the quality of the materials and the precision of the silhouettes. For me, that direct interaction with the garment is essential.
At the same time, I intend to continue working on selected custom projects with artists and individuals who align with the brand’s language, maintaining a balance between a structured, evolving label and more personal, expressive work.
