I’m thrilled to announce our upcoming limited edition art book: 𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗢 - 𝗘𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺

This book brings together over ten years of my work, poetically captured over the past two years by the incredibly talented photographer @bogdan.pastor.

Blurring the line between fashion and art, 𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗢 presents a visual exploration of concepts such as identity, alienation, and the absurd.

Inspired by 𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒐 - the final stage of an insect’s metamorphosis - this book serves as a metaphor through which we explore the concept of becoming and transformation while negotiating the intersection of our visions: My experimental design and @bogdan.pastor`s poetic imagery.

A huge thank you to @snapcollectiveworld for inviting us to publish this book — 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 (𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐢𝐨)!

Gratitude also to @pamelahornik for being part of the project (she’s on the cover of our book!), and to all our amazing collaborators, friends, artists, and performers who embraced my wild experimental designs and brought them to life:

“Fremont” - a beautiful, thought-provoking film that explores the challenges and emotional complexities of the immigrant experience. With understated, dark humor, it captures the quiet loneliness and deep longing for genuine connection that many immigrants feel in their first months in a new country, having left behind everything familiar - family, friends, and culture.

After a serendipitous meeting with the producer of the film - @sudnyashroff, I was so pleasantly surprised to learn that both the lead actress and the producer wore my designs at the film’s premiere. It felt especially meaningful, as themes like identity, displacement, resilience, and belonging are central to my creative practice and a constant source of inspiration for my collections.

Thank you, @sudnyashroff and @anaitawalizada and @purple_maroon
