Designer Dossier Edit Delete Unpublish Submitted by admin on Mon, 2014-12-29 09:31 Q: Who are your influences? A: I love Madeleine Vionnet. I love the architecture of her work. I also like Halston [the original brand]. [The clothes are] modern, chic, effortless. Q: What was your thought process when designing the spring/summer collection?

I like to design pieces that could make sense with other pieces.Read more about Designer Dossier
