My clothing line came about almost by accident- I began making garments while getting my BFA at Cooper Union; When avant-garde clothing store ‘Cafe Forgot,’ reached out requesting to sell the pieces from my senior thesis, my eponymous clothing like was born. I am known for my clothing that incorporates miniature-windows out of clear PVC vinyl, adorned with little curtains and flowers down to the very last detail. Just like changing in front of a window, my work creates a very revealing experience. The tiny windows are typically located over the left or right chest area on sweaters or replace the back pockets on a pair of pants.
My window pieces accomplish what I look to explore and extract out of my work— an experience with clothing that addresses clothing as structure, and the power in femininity concerning domesticity. I try to offer an opportunity for someone wearing my work to take a moment and reflect on the changes in emotion and awareness of the body that can occur through the act of dress.
My epnymous clothing label was operating from 2018-2022, during this time I produced one off garments that were sold in New York, Berlin and Mexico City.
