What's your design philosophy?
I believe fashion goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about creating an expression of identity and reflecting what we aspire to be. My approach focuses on the subtle elements of the world, often overlooked, and uses them as a foundation for constant evolution. Every piece I design embraces change and shapes a vision for a beautiful future. These pieces are made to transmit strength, confidence, power, and extroversion—qualities essential for evolving into the best version of ourselves, both as individuals and as a collective world.
What's your favorite color to work with?
Definitely black. Without overlooking its fundamental characteristics, such as elegance, black represents the dramatic minimalist style of my brand. It allows me to convey the deeper ideas behind my collections. To me, black symbolizes the absence of vision, perfectly reflecting the subtle concepts that inspire my work.
What's your favorite type of clothing to design?
Outerwear, no doubt. I love designing blazers and coats. There's something about the structure and versatility of these pieces that truly inspires me. They have the power to transform an outfit, make a bold statement, and remain functional and timeless.
How do you balance creativity with wearability in your designs?
I would say, within limits. It may sound funny, but it's true. There are moments when creativity flows, and I love following that energy. However, in the end, I always have to refine each design, transforming it into a minimalist, wearable piece.
How do you see the future of fashion?
In extreme conditions, the future of fashion could be centered purely on clothing designed for survival. However, I firmly believe that we can achieve harmony between sustainability, technology, and individuality. I envision a future where we preserve the aesthetics—the most captivating aspect of this industry—while prioritizing sustainability and integrating technology to meet our evolving needs.
