About me
I am here to search for quality models, photographers to collaborate with to produce great images.   I'm very open to trying out new ideas.

My bespoke work is centered on custom corsetry and evening attire, while my ready to wear line focuses on innovative high quality dresses and separates with poetic inspirations.

When designing I look to dreams and imaginations of the wheel of time. The future that might be, and the past that never was. Not to the actual future, but to that intangible place that is the future as we love to envision it. Not the real past, but that nostalgic mirage that permeates our consciousness.

Architectural inspirations often lead me to create structural garments, with an emphasis on strong lines and geometric design. Many of my garments have their own infrastructure, by means of corselets, boning, and interlinings to form the framework of the garment.

I have a selection of samples from past ranges available for photo work but I am most interested in photographing my new line.
