I’m not interested in technical excess or stylistic performance. Technique serves the idea, never the other way around. What matters is clarity, balance, and meaning — work that holds its ground years later, when trends have moved on.

My pieces are built, not applied. They consider the body as form, not canvas. Ageing, movement, wear & negative space are all active elements. Permanence is a design constraint, not a novelty.

Each piece is designed, refined, and placed with the same intent as a garment made for a single body.
