I am interested in fashion history and examining its influences on modern fashion, as well as all forms of costume and performance wear. My inspirations stem from my understanding of the evolution of fashion throughout history and its sociological manifestations.
With my designs I aim to deconstruct historical fashions and recontextualize their philosophies for the modern age.
