”This collection aims to explore the spaces between opposites using a feminine flash. I treat quiet materials, like mesh and knit, with loud construction. Working with a limited color palette consisting of blacks, whites, grays, and beiges to create unlimited styling combinations, I make my garments with the intention for the wearer to show intimate layers on the outside. This reversal of what is supposed to be covered creates a new space for the wearer to face out. In this space I intend to challenge the conventional understandings of strength, power, and beauty in garment through closeness and connection.
The varying sizes and opacities of each piece in this line allows options for different levels of comfort with baring skin. There is strength in knowing what level of exposure you’re comfortable with; how much you choose to share. Vulnerability, in all of its versions, is beautiful and powerful.”

This photo was achieved by using long exposure photography to photograph segments of video on an LCD screen. The screen was covered with a cloudy plastic material to emulate fog and yielded a ghostly, ethereal portrait.
