My collection is a dialogue between my own design creativity and the legacy of Elsa Schiaparelli. Centered around a structured jacket with flared sleeves, paired with jean pants, a sculptural pointed corset, and a fluid draped gown skirt, the looks explore the contrast between sharp tailoring and soft movement. I drew inspiration from Schiaparelli’s bold silhouettes and her iconic “shocking pink,” incorporating it as a focal point while grounding the rest of the palette in my signature colorways. I used gold detailing throughout the collection to highlight her avant-garde sensibility.

To bring these designs to life, I developed my patterns using Gerber AccuMark, CLO 3D, and Adobe Illustrator. These tools allowed me to translate conceptual ideas into precise digital patterns, experiment with fit and drape in a virtual space, and refine technical details before production. By combining traditional inspiration with modern technology, I was able to push the collection forward while maintaining accuracy and craftsmanship.
