Patchwork recycled-sweater vest was sculpted over handmade neoprene-covered cage for shape.

Tucks were made by hand on the pants and skirt. Intarsia was programmed for and knit on Stoll.

The inspiration behind these looks and for my collection in general is my father. His name is Bruno, like the name of the collection. The direct translation of Bruno from Italian to English is "brown." My father has been suffering from vascular dementia for almost nine years, and I want to dedicate this collection to him. I also want to relate the fact that man came from ashes and dirt (color brown) and to emphasize the circle of life.
