THE WARRIOR

Inspired by the Amazons, some of the fiercest and most skilled women warriors in history. They were known to be nomads living in nature, incredible horseback riders, and skilled archers. Most importantly they were unapologetically strong, fierce, femenine, and natural born leaders.

BIOMIMICRY

This collection embodies the practice of biomimicry, looking to the environment for inspiration of shape, color, silhouette, fabrication, and movement. Organic shapes such as plants, trees, beehives, fungus heavily influenced silhouette development and garment construction techniques.

DYING OCEANS

This collection highlights the damage being done to our oceans, a muted color palette with organic nude tones inspired by the color of bleached coral and oceans. Focus placed on utilizing recycled polyester, hemp, cotton, & other organic textiles.
