Playwear

I've never been one to dress for the everyday. Fashion, to me, is more than just clothing—it's an extension of identity, a form of personal storytelling, a performance. Whether I’m at work, school, or simply lounging at home, my outfits are never just functional; they are statements, adorned with fur, feathers, or an impractical purse. This philosophy is the heartbeat of my latest collection, "Playwear"—a bold, avant-garde exploration of punk and glamour that transcends traditional boundaries of daily wear.  


At its core, "Playwear" is about contradiction and collision—gritty yet extravagant, effortless yet theatrical, comfortable yet unapologetically bold. Casual silhouettes serve as the foundation, allowing the richness of textures and embellishments to be the point of focus. Each look is a fusion of opposing styles, taking inspiration from the ‘70s punk scene and the glamour of showgirls. I embrace the tension between raw, grungy elements and hyper-feminine opulence, crafting pieces that blur the lines between fashion and art. Playwear is an evolution of this vision—an invitation to revel in self-expression, to dress beyond practicality, and to turn everyday moments into a stage for something exciting.
