Tale of the Irish Fairies
I was raised in an Irish immigrant household. My work is rooted in heritage, exploring identity through ethics, history, and design. This collection, Tales of the Irish Fairies, traces Ireland's fractured spirit in three parts: the sacred land of pagan Celtic origins, the Christian influence, and the fiery rebellion of modern identity. Each segment blends mythology, texture, and symbolism. Raw handmade forms reflect ancient rituals; corsetry and stained glass motifs show religious control; while fragmented silhouettes and hidden emblems speak to resistance and resilience. Merging my Irish roots with a New York edge, this collection is a statement on history, transformation, and what it means to wear a story.
