I am fascinated by the human condition. The inescapable dynamics of suffering, hope, warfare, death, love, miracles, divine-worship & connections in this lifetime. Can we truly escape death and suffering? Through my creations I hope to shed the conditioning of the ego to encourage us to come together. As a species. I have faith in faith and in love, and that it can overcome the challenges of this lifetime. I also value truth and that it should be shared without barriers. Human curiosity and compassion is a truly wonderful gift when understood.
At the same time, I am nostalgic and sentimental in nature. It allows me to be thankful for the experiences I have in this physical world. Certain clothes, handfeel, materials, relationships, scents, taste, songs, and emotions provoke this nostalgia, and I hang on to those deeply. The fashion design system allows me to best express this physical and emotional quality. I gravitate towards natural materials such as cotton, silk, denim, and mostly, leather. Natural patina is dear to me and is a reflection of life that I emphasize and embrace. Through my designs I hope to create garments that will stand the test of time and culture, and begin a lasting relationship with the soul that wears it.
