The collection explores the themes of desire to explore the world, the art of observing the details surrounding you, and storytelling. The visual research was influenced by my experience of moving abroad, aviation history and design, and stories from my childhood, including my grandfather's time as a pilot. With the inspiration in mind, the collection brings together luxurious textures, craftsmanship, and eye-catching details, proportions, and silhouettes.
