The materials he chose to work with were very much representative of his vision: he used moiré, a very classic, slightly old-fashioned couture kind of silk for bomber jackets and sportive pants. More handcrafted pieces, like bustier dresses have been made out of nylon. The aim, as he says, was to reflect the duality, clinch of opposite worlds. As for the future? Continue experimenting and creating by staying true to the label’s message.

I love women, love see a woman smiling because she feels good, because she feels beautiful. I hope my clothes make women feel great in that way. I strongly believe in elegance… of course it needs to have a little twist.

“I’m an interior architect from former studies so i’m slightly obsessed by construction. My patterns are often quite researched but nevertheless it’s from major importance that everything feels comfortable to wear. Even though some pieces look architectural in cut, the fit is still loose. A lot of pieces are adaptable to the own person of the woman wearing it. Of course i want the image we present to be strong and authentic. But still each piece on it’s own is very versatile and adaptable to different wardrobes, feelings and women.”
