About me

About me _____
I reimagine classic minimalism through a contemporary lens—elevating traditional tailoring with urban-infused details, unexpected material hybrids, and a restrained yet rebellious spirit.
My practice dissects classic menswear through a lens where minimalist purity collides with urban grit. Every stitch, texture fusion, and distorted proportion is deliberate—a product of my hands-on alchemy. Imagine tailoring dragged through an underground scene: my clothes pressure ‘proper’ with youth’s raw energy. This immersive approach defines me as bold minimalist designer and urban storyteller.

I document how clothes really live—deformed by bodies, stained by cities. This is my luxury.
Notes From Youth: Where Sartorial Elegance Collides with Urban Growth
The aim of my collection is to capture fashion's role as both armor and vulnerability for a generation thrust into adulthood without a roadmap. Reinterpreting classic tailoring through the lens of suspended adolescence, each piece becomes a study in sartorial dissonance—structured wools collapse under the weight of unfinished growth, shirt collars dematerialize into translucent jersey, and neckties inflate into monuments of societal expectations. Through experimental pattern-cutting and fabric juxtapositions, the collection challenges static notions of sophistication: from using oversized leghts and widths to details referecing men's boxer shorts, bomber jackets and school uniforms. This is fashion for those performing adulthood under city lights, their clothing betraying the beautiful struggle between who they are and who they're forced to become. Not streetwear, not tailoring, but the embodied poetry of growing up too fast in cities that shine too bright.

“YOUTH: stage in which the body is a borrowed dress to which patches of fake maturity are applied; between the not yet and the too late, and the city appears as a script written in soluble ink.”
