My core philosophy is rooted in the celebration of imperfections, drawing inspiration from two influential sources: the ancient art of kintsugi and the timeless allure of vintage garments. Much like kintsugi, where broken pottery is mended with gold, my design language embraces visible repairs as a symbolic nod to the beauty found in flaws.
I believe in celebrating rather than concealing imperfections, a sentiment echoed in the enduring charm of vintage garments that have weathered the passage of time.
As a designer, my mission is to craft products that encourage wearers to embrace their own imperfections. Just as the vintage garments have weathered time with grace, I aspire to create pieces that inspire self-discovery and appreciation for individual uniqueness.
By doing so, the clothing becomes a canvas for personal expression and self-exploration, allowing wearers to find beauty within their distinctive qualities and celebrate the stories etched into the fabric of their lives. The brand ethos is a tribute to the beauty that emerges from the resilience of both objects and individuals over time.
In the art of kintsugi, the philosophy dictates that the mended cracks and imperfections contribute to the object's unique beauty, telling a tale of resilience and transformation. Similarly, vintage garments bear the marks of a rich history, each flaw and sign of wear narrating a story of the garment's journey through the years.
I aim to capture and accentuate these imperfections, considering them as integral parts of the narrative that adds depth and character to the clothing.
