Lethally Lovely
This mini series explores the juxtaposition between danger and beauty. Centered around poisonous flowers, my goal is to reveal the darker truths hidden beneath their delicate appearance. Through pattern and design, I aim to narrate the transformation that occurs upon encountering these florals. Moving from awe and allure to unease, fear, and sometimes death.
Oleander: Nerium Oleander
Caution will cause:
nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, slowed or irregular heartbeat, dilated pupils, drowsiness, depression and death.
Oleander
This collection explores the complex physiological effects of the Oleander species on the human body. It moves from the initial allure of its deceptive beauty to the wilted florals and deepened color palette that evoke themes of depression and mortality. Textural elements convey rigidity and intensity, while shifts in scale suggest pupil dilation and heightened sensory response. Subtle yet intentional, the designs reflect the unexpected potency of this floral. The collection features one statement print accompanied by four coordinating designs for the S/S ’27 season
Angel's Trumpet
This collection explores one of the intriguing side effects of encountering the Angel’s Trumpet, hallucination. Rather than leaning into the chaotic, hyper psychedelic aesthetic, I sought a more sophisticated interpretation of surrealism, dreamlike, yet grounded in elegance and curiosity. I’ve curated a series of one statement print and five coordinating designs intended for outdoor fall apparel in the F/W ’27 season. The focus is on layered silhouettes and subtle imagery that invites a second glance.
