This collection began with memories of her childhood. Inspired by memories of exploring her mother’s wardrobe, the collection embraces exaggerated proportions and silhouettes, reminiscent of a little girl wearing her mother’s clothes, with nostalgia and fairy-tale imagination woven into each piece. Sculptural shapes are articulated through a craft-forward methodology: meticulous hand beading, inventive fabric manipulation, precision tailored pattern‑making and selective 3D printing. By layering traditional couture techniques with contemporary technologies, each piece becomes an object of both memory and making — handcrafted details that hold the warmth of the past alongside experimental materiality. With the philosophy that “there is a child within all of us,” this collection is a dreamy fantasy, guiding wearers back to their childhood days.
