The Family

This collection is inspired by my experience growing up in San Francisco as a teenager, shaped by the contradictions of my generation—where things like vaping, violence, and constant uncertainty exist alongside creativity, self-expression, and connection. Working with my mentor and the House of Perception challenged my view of design and gave me the confidence to reject the monotony of conventional clothing, embracing bold colors, exaggerated silhouettes, and avant-garde techniques to create garments that feel exciting, expressive, and alive. At its core, the collection argues that fashion and social justice are inseparable, because art has always been one of the most powerful ways people communicate their values, inspire change, and build support for one another.
