This collection is deeply inspired by my mother’s artwork and her unique designer clothing. Growing up, I was always surrounded by her paintings, and as a child, I would often play with her clothes. As I got older, her artistic expressions and her fashion sense became a significant influence on my own taste. Since the beginning of my interest in fashion, her paintings and wardrobe have consistently served as my inspiration. This collection reflects my origins as a designer, drawing directly from the powerful connection I have with her work. The first look features a jacket and skirt, inspired by the textures and colors in her paintings, with gold paint and embroidery intricately applied to reflect her artistic style. The second look draws from the distinctive designs she favored in her wardrobe, encapsulating the unique flair she had and the timeless elegance she embodied.
