FASHION DESIGN & CREATIVE DIRECTION

Remastering 70s style by blending New concepts together

Style Identity

My designer Identity is defined by a mix of retro-futuristic approach that transforms American fashion history into original contemporary design. From the refined silhouettes and tailored elegance of 1950s style, combined with the bold cultural expression of 1970s fashion. These influences are not simply repeated, but reconstructed and merged into new forms that feel unique.
