'Till Marriage Do Us Part' is an 8-look womenswear collection that explores the emotional arc of an unraveling marriage—from its tender beginnings to its fractured, introspective end. Through evolving silhouettes, textures, and construction, each piece charts a chapter in this intimate transformation, using clothing as a language to express emotional states often left unspoken. The collection begins in softness: airy volumes, fluid fabrics, and romantic flourishes that evoke the lightness of new love. As the journey unfolds, shapes become more structured, then slowly destabilized. Ties, once playful and symbolic of connection, grow heavier and more entangled, eventually becoming burdens. Rosettes wilt. Symmetry dissolves. The garments shift from openness to protection—mirroring the emotional shift from unity to solitude.This work is deeply personal. As a Brazilian designer living in Dublin for over a decade, I often process emotional experiences through aesthetics—translating internal landscapes into tactile form. Inspired by the expressive, subversive work of Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, I see fashion as a vehicle for storytelling and emotional release. My design practice lives in that space between vulnerability and performance, where beauty and discomfort can coexist.Till Marriage Do Us Part is not only a reflection on love and loss, but also about resilience—how identity reforms in the wake of disconnection. The final look is quiet but grounded. It does not shout, but it speaks. It suggests that closure isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of something new.
