hat do people associate with the word, “utility”? Utility reminds me of all the textures and surfaces that have a purpose. For instance, a silver foil-like texture is to protect one from fire or matter of fact from rain. My goal was to link textures to situations in life we normally don’t notice on a daily basis. That led me to a photographer named Cassio Vasconcellos, who captured photos of different airports around the year and collaged it together into a beautiful utility sight. It inspired me to dig deep into the airplanes and aircrafts. I came across its blueprints; the engine designs and so forth the outer silhouette of the vehicle.

Coming from an Airforce background, I have always been surrounded with talks and scenery about this topic.

To get inspired by the utility factor of aircraft, one can find a lot of relatable details in my capsule collection s/s 2016/17. I translated the intricate lines from blueprints and developed my own lines for quilting. I included outer shapes from the wing and body of it into my style lines as well as my print. I have kept my colors monochromatic and grey toned with silver metal embellishing. Leaning more towards high end, I designed sports luxe outfits, evolving around casual lose silhouettes and luxe fabrics to touch base with utility sideways.

My collection has edgy streetwear looks that are comfortable with a statement. To create the quilt stitches, I doubled on a sporty thick scuba fabric in order to create the bouncy texture for my bullet proof vest item.

Along with that, my collection consists of luxe fabrics as well. I designed a silver metallic suede parka jacket with eyelets all over the back. I included other weights of scuba and jerseys that have interesting grains.

Furthermore, I created pieces inspired by the utility harness as well. One can find half dresses, skirt suspenders and literal airplane harness garments.
