PREVIOUS COLLECTIONS
What inspired you to become a fashion designer?
I'm self-taught. I studied clothing on my own after graduating high school, then worked as a designer's assistant before going independent.
How would you describe your design style?
Soft and romantic, mostly in white. I love working with feather and fur textures, tulle, lace, and corsetry.
What can people expect from your “The Creation of a Dream” collection?
My latest collection is called Episode 0, an all-white couture look with feathered skirts and tops, layered tulle ball skirts, lace, and matching hair pieces like bows and clips.
How did you build your range of skills as a designer, patternmaker, and seamstress?
I started as a freelance dressmaker making idol costumes and special costumes, and that's where I built these skills.
What construction details show up in your work as a patternmaker, like in the corset pieces?
My corsets are built with visible boning and back lacing, done by hand as part of the couture construction.
