About me
_____
About me _____
My works bring a new and innovative vision of streetwear, built on experimental and functional materials with meticulous attention to detail. I excel in fabric manipulation and in highly elaborate handcrafting processes that transform each piece into a unique, elevated garment.
Each collection is built as a dialogue between innovation and tradition, where streetwear evolves into a platform for experimentation. I focus on advanced textiles, sustainable approaches, and unexpected material hybrids that reshape the perception of functionality. Manual techniques and labor-intensive processes become tools to sculpt surfaces, while imperfections turn into distinctive details. What drives me is the search for balance: garments that embody strength and fragility, precision and spontaneity, offering a personal yet universal vision of contemporary style.
Inspiration
_____
Inspiration _____
My inspiration originates from fencing, a discipline I have practiced for the past 15 years.
ENGARDE is a collection that draws from both the past and present of fencing, transforming its codes into garments designed for everyday wear. Traditional uniforms are reimagined with a contemporary approach, balancing elegance and functionality. Central to the project is Dyneema, the strongest fiber in the world (15 times more resistant than steel cables yet extremely flexible) used to push the boundaries of protection, performance, and style in a streetwear context.
