I was never comfortable with sharing my work. I used to spend most of my time sketching designs, sewing random garments, drafting logos, and creating editorials for my hyphotetical 'brand' in secret, but I finally decided to share it all this year.

Thank you to my friends who continue to support this and to the people who decided my work was interesting enough to follow. It really means a lot to me.

Here are some outtakes and random photos from different projects I've done this year. I had a lot of opportunities to create this 2022 and I'm glad I took them. More coming soon in 2023. Happy new year!

"You've got to know the rules before you break them. That's what I'm here for-to demolish the rules but keep
the tradition" - Lee Alexander Mcqueen

Inspired by the tailoring trends of the 90s, the pinstripe suit and faux leather tie is a retro take on the classic suit with a boxy silhouette and padded shoulders that drapes loosely on the wearer. As fashion slowly transitions away from form-fitting "skinny" clothing and into loose oversized fits, the suit represents the cusp between the two trends.

Although a bit less conceptual than previous works, I've always been a big believer of learning the fundamentals of a medium before venturing on experimentation, hence this suit. I've also been wanting to do something a bit more traditional, specifically with menswear—and what's more traditional menswear than tailoring? But mostly because I needed a suit for my grad pictures.

Some more super old projects I've done. I made these when I was still starting and I just winged my way through all of it so they're kinda bad. It's so sad to see how motivated I was around a year ago. I would sew whenever I had free time and sometimes even during class. After Faux I can't even look at my sewing machine anymore. I miss when I would just make clothes for fun, even if they were ugly. I still have more old stuff but they're so bad that I never even took pictures.

A skirt I made a while back for a friend when the miumiu mini was at its peak. I think I finished this in a day but I honestly can't remember because I was mentally in a bad place (Finals Week) when I was making it. hire me...

Faux: Look 1 (Fur) Repost

Look 1 aims to address the cruelty within fur. It consists of a white faux fur dress dip-dyed in red pigment, as well as a cage corset. The dress symbolizes the fur animals involved in the fashion industry while the red detail is meant to represent the bloodshed not only within animals, but also within the workers and the environment. The corset is a direct reference to the tiny metal cages that fur animals are kept in before they are slaughtered.

Sorry for posting these again. I got some time recently to finally edit the photos the way I initially planned. I couldn't do this the first time I posted because I was lazy lol.

Faux: Look 3 (Feather) Repost

Look 3 symbolizes the cruelty within the production of feathers. It references Björk’s infamous swan dress and uses this inspiration to create a look that visualizes the harmful process of live-plucking in birds, specifically geese. The look consists of a tulle corset dress with a gooseneck. The see-through slits of the corset are meant to represent live-plucking, which is a process whereby birds are violently plucked and snatched of their feathers while they are alive, leaving them bald and injured. The red tulle is meant to symbolize the bloodshed and cruelty in the production of feathers.

Faux: Look 2 (Leather) Repost

Look 2 aims to address the cruelty within the production of leather. It consists of a black faux leather biker jacket with blood red rhinestone detailing and a matching pencil skirt. The cut of the skirt symbolizes the cowhides in leather tanneries that exploit workers and communities in third world countries. These tanneries put workers and nearby communities at risk for developing chromium poisoning and cancer. The blood red rhinestones represents the bloodshed and cruelty against workers, the environment, and the animals in the production of animal-derived clothing.
