I am a fashion and textile designer with a strong interest in print, surface development and experimental design. My work combines a playful and conceptual approach with a strong attention to craftsmanship and detail. Through my studies and international experiences in Seoul and Tokyo, I have developed a broad visual perspective and an openness to different ways of working. I enjoy exploring how textiles, prints and garments can interact to create unexpected yet functional designs. I am curious, hands on and eager to continue developing my practice within a creative environment.
Fragile Forces explores the deconstruction of military archetypes through softness, vulnerability and empathy. The collection challenges the traditional association of strength with power and protection, instead proposing fragility as a form of strength. Military-inspired silhouettes are reinterpreted through softer shapes, delicate materials, draping and experimental textile techniques. Contrasting elements such as structured garments and translucent fabrics create a dialogue between protection and exposure, hardness and softness.
