About

Fashion designer specialising in womenswear, corsetry and leather.

the girl in brooks bros.

For decades, Brooks Brothers built its legacy around menswear, often leaving womenswear overlooked, conservative and rooted in traditional ideals of femininity. This collection challenges that history by reimagining the Brooks Brothers woman through the lens of the modern femme fatale. Once confined to the role of the dutiful wife, she is reclaimed as powerful, seductive and self-assured. Drawing on the sharp elegance of bespoke tailoring and the magnetic presence of icons such as Marlene Dietrich, the collection transforms traditional suiting into a symbol of female autonomy. Merging heritage craftsmanship with sensuality and strength, it proposes a bold new vision for Brooks Brothers one where power dressing is unapologetically feminine.
