I see fashion as a way of telling stories that words cannot fully express. Through my work, I explore themes of memory, transformation, resilience, and hope, using garments to communicate emotional and social narratives. I am particularly interested in how clothing can reflect the human experience and how design can encourage conversations around sustainability, healing, and renewal. In my practice, I combine deconstruction, reconstruction, and material experimentation to challenge conventional ideas of fashion. I enjoy working with layered silhouettes, visible repair, and unexpected construction techniques, allowing garments to evolve rather than appear static. My graduate collection explores the aftermath of conflict, tracing a journey from fragmentation to peace. Rather than focusing on destruction itself, I am interested in what comes after—how people, places, and garments can be rebuilt while carrying the memory of what they have endured. Digital technology is an important part of my creative process. I use CLO3D alongside traditional pattern cutting and garment construction to experiment, refine ideas, and reduce unnecessary waste before making physical pieces. By combining craftsmanship with digital innovation, I aim to develop thoughtful, sustainable fashion that balances creativity with responsibility. My ambition is to create work that is conceptually driven, technically refined, and emotionally meaningful, using fashion as a medium for reflection, connection, and positive change.
