I was quite young when I saw that I was good at designing. I remember I had a final designing project in high school and I got some really good feedback from the teacher. I designed a beautiful dress. Then I thought why don’t I make a career out if this? I feel like I’ve been leading up to this moment from when I started study- ing fashion. I’ve had this competition in mind for 5 years. My entire career has culminated to this moment. Getting to this point has been very emo- tional for me. This collection is my first collection ever so I was looking to discover who I want to be. I’ve worked for designers for a while now, so creating a representation of myself was a priority. I’ve always had an idea of my- self being an edgy designer with a lot of sex appeal. Getting it done was a challenge because I could add concepts to designs forever, so it was very stressful to be honest. I nearly pulled out of the competition because I was over it. But sitting here right now and hearing all the good feedback is really amazing and really rewarding. Getting all this positive feedback is makes me realise that all my efforts were worthwhile. TELL US ABOUT YO U R S A F W AW 1 8 COLLECTION. Creating this collection was a journey of finding my aesthetic. I always knew I had one, but I didn’t knew what it was. I found, through this jour- ney, that my personal aesthetic is sexy, alluring and powerful and that’s who I want to appeal to: alluring, powerful women. I created this collec- tion for someone who is confident in her body and confident in herself most importantly. I love the human anatomy. I want to envision a woman wearing my garments as a confident person flaunting what she has with- out looking tacky. EDITÉUR PLUS / THE SIXTEENTH ISSUE
