To create this collection, I researched the world famous Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans.

The tradition is a wild and crazy celebration that lasts about two weeks, with at least a parade day.

I took my silhouettes from the traditional Zulu costumes and designed prints based on the chaos and the trash that is left in the streets after the completion of the celebration.

fractured identity athletic wear collection

For Victor & Rolf, I developed an Athletic Wear Collection. The brand is currently without this type of wear, but with athleticism becoming a trend, I decided that it would be an opportunity for the brand to attract a younger audience. This collection is based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) and revolves around a cyborg who is obsessed with being perfect.

locked heart patterns for the creative

35

The patterns I created are representative of the artist trapped in a normal 9-5. A Creative Spirit must create. If one cannot create one cannot be free. I drew a heart in chains trapped in a bottle, wavy bars, a creative woman caught in between two lives, and a woman with her mouth forced closed to create these patterns.
