From drawn line to draped form — sketching in fashion I’ve always been drawn to painting—the freedom it gives me is irresistible. It’s an instinctive act, one that flows without overthinking, guided purely by intuition. I’m fascinated by this raw, spontaneous energy.

I try to carry that same lightness and freedom into my fashion design process—approaching a garment like a living canvas, letting my hands move with the same graffiti-like mindset. Every thread follows my instincts. There are no sketches, no plans—just a direct translation of thought into form, as the garment slowly takes shape on the body straight from my imagination.

The joy that graffiti brings me is natural, satisfying, and wild. It’s this untamed spirit that I chase in my work.
