Human . Nature

The Poma Dress is a silk organza piece inspired by historical pomanders, designed to carry fragrance directly on the body. Its cinched waist and soft rounded petal like skirt create an airy silhouette balanced by voluminous sleeves. Embedded within hidden pockets are fresh lavender, chamomile flowers, rose petals, and daisies, chosen for their calming, skin-soothing properties. As the wearer moves, the botanicals release a natural scent, offering a subtle aromatherapeutic effect.

The Gardenia Dress is a deep front scoop-neck shift dress, sleeveless, made from custom formulated biomaterial developed by the designer, Doriean Jackson, using fresh-juiced pineapple, turmeric, dehydrated flowers, collagen, and coconut glycerine. Each ingredient was selected for both function and skin benefit. Pineapple offers natural enzymes for gentle skin renewal, turmeric is anti-inflammatory, collagen promotes skin softness. The material drapes softly and nourishes the body.

In a world shaped by speed and disconnectedness from the Earth, I look to history, when clothing supported the body and skin. This collection returns to organic materials and sustainable design, reconnecting body, environment, and well-being. Each garment rests on the skin, offering care through contact, scent, and time, supporting both the wearer's body and planet Earth.
