It's the project where I felt most like myself as a designer: building a world around an idea, from first sketch to final shoot.

“Silicon Valley Blueprint”


What if a microchip were a garment? I've always been drawn to where technology meets streetwear, and this menswear collection is my way of making that connection wearable. Microchips are everywhere in our lives, yet we never see them, so I traced their evolution from early processors to today's 3nm nodes and brought that hidden circuitry to the surface.

Designed for Harry Martinez, a Madrid footballer and style icon, it's cyber-athleisure built for the tunnel walk. Sublimation-printed motherboard graphics are slashed and layered across crisp white and black twill, with eyelets and snap buttons as solder points and asymmetric cut-outs echoing stacked silicon. Every look was developed through toiles and pattern-making, and finished with custom circuit-inspired sunglasses.
