Meet the Designer
I’ve always been a huge nerd and developing cosplays of my favorite anime and comic book characters were really what got me interested in fashion design and sewing in general. I enjoy seeing a fantasy come to life. I chose intimate apparel because I wanted to expand the boundaries of what most people consider classic lingerie. A huge inspiration for me is the BDSM community and streetwear. In my designs, the goal is to combine the two. Experimenting with shapes is also always a goal of mine. I love the idea of creating a garment to be worn as either underwear or outerwear – something versatile. If I had to choose a ‘design aesthetic’, I would say that it’s contemporary, leaning toward the alternative side.
