My cfda project, Structured Chaos, is about self expression and embracing one’s identity. Structured Chaos is the process of coming into one’s skin. When Structured Chaos is achieved, there are no more self doubts, and one’s being is fully embraced.

knitwear | skeletal dress The skeletal dress was inspired by the inner workings of the human body both the shapes and textures, and the funcionality. The rips and unexpected variations throughout this dress are meant to mimic human dna - how not one strand is ever the same, and how we as individuals are forever changing.
