Stemming from the sentiment, The most beautiful creatures on earth are often the most hunted. Prey For Me, is driven by the idea of garments in opposition. The utilitarian construction of American hunting jackets merges with the aesthetic prowess of Couture. Drawing from Max Ernst’s surreal landscapes and hybrid figures, I aim to dissolve the boundary between body and dress, allowing opposing forms, materials, and construction methodologies to mutate. Through this collision, garments shift between utility and beauty, hunter and prey—ultimately exploring how dress can transform the body and the role it inhabits.
