EMPIRE COLLECTION
NEW YORK CITY HAS BEEN MY HOME FOR 20 YEARS.
THE RICH HISTORY OF THIS CITY HAS DEFINED ITS CHARACTERISTICS; ITS INTENSITY, INVENTIVENESS AND DETERMINATION TRANSCEND GENERATIONS AND INFLUENCE ALL WHO LIVE HERE.
IN MY FIRST COLLECTION, I GIVE BACK TO THE CITY THAT GAVE ME MUCH. EACH PIECE IS CONCEPTUALIZED FROM THE PHYSICAL ESSENCE OF NEW YORK.
I WANTED TO TAKE THE GRITTINESS OF THE CITY AND CREATE A REFINED OBJECT – MELANGE TEXTURE, RAW HEAVY METALS, AND CITYSCAPE SILHOUETTES INSPIRED THIS COLLECTION.
