Last season, I traveled to Tokyo. It was a dream I had carried for years, and one day, the stars aligned, and I decided to go for it. The collection was meaningful and personal. It was titled Full Circle because I created the collection with Japanese fabrics and then shot it in Japan, a place that largely inspires my craft.
The dream continues with Season 8. This time, I looked inwards and found inspiration back in Los Angeles. Taking a different approach to my work was a hard but necessary step forward, especially because my end goal is to design full time. In my own way, I needed to Return Home. This collection is marked by new vendors, fabrics, and silhouettes that reflect a renewed vision.
My goal was to shine a light on the craftsmanship that makes Los Angeles special. Using American milled fabrics, each garments was cut, sewn, and finished here in the city. With the support of my community, I'm starting to finally see a reality where this brand can become my full time endeavor.
