About
I am a recent graduate in fashion design with a clear vision: I want my work and my way of seeing the world to reach people, in order to grow as a designer and as a person. My passion for fashion, designing, styling and history keeps me in a constant search for new techniques that take me to keep explore innovative ways to transform the world of fashion. I am motivated not only to create garments, but also to contribute fresh ideas that reflect a youthful, creative, rebellious, and colorful spirit, challenging boundaries and breaking stereotypes. I firmly believe in the power of design to connect, tell stories and leave a lasting mark on those who experience it.
This collection is the result of a deep exploration and study of insects, from their smallest details to their most striking features. The textures, colours, shapes and structures of these fascinating creatures are meticulously researched and then translated into clothing designs. Inspiration comes from nature itself, where insects play a crucial role in the ecosystem and exhibit astonishing diversity. By thoroughly studying each insect, unique patterns, textures and colour combinations are discovered that can be creatively adapted into fashion. The designers use these findings as a starting point to create garments that reflect the beauty and intricate elegance of insects. Volumes, silhouettes and prints are directly inspired by the shapes and characteristics of insects, thus creating a collection that fuses the aesthetics of fashion with the fascination of nature. Each piece in the collection seeks to capture the essence and majesty of insects, offering a unique visual experience that invites us to explore and appreciate the beauty of these small beings that have such an influence on our world.
