Menswear fashion textile designer with a focus of material innovation and accessory design.
Disarmed explores the fusion of material innovation, surface design, functionality, and practicality—aiming to create pieces that balance visual appeal with purposeful design. Drawing inspiration from WWII military aesthetics and the concept of forced attachment, my work emphasizes resilience, strength, and utility. These themes are contrasted with a focus on raw, constructed, and deconstructed forms, creating a dynamic tension between structure and fluidity. The result is a dialogue where historical influence intersects with forward-thinking innovation.
