- About This Collection:
- This collection is inspired by fossils: born of nature and formed uniquely over time, their appearance offers clues to their provenance and history. I translated this theme into garments via modularity, which represents the idea that no two people wear a garment in the same way, just like nature crafts no two stones alike. The pieces in this collection invite the wearer to interact with the garment’s seams and cuts via buttoned closures, allowing each individual to modify the piece into a shape that is uniquely their own. And with the connected panels, each individual wearer can craft a layered story—their own memory fossil. The buildable, interchangeable garments in my collection allow the wearer to live artfully through the everyday act of getting dressed, tapping memory and experience to give us a peek into their ever-changing inner life.
