Entangled Expressions of Art and Technology
My background in fashion design has always been rooted in a highly creative and multidisciplinary approach. After earning my BA in Fashion Design, I worked extensively across the fashion industry in roles such as designer, stylist, art director, photographer, and image editor. Between 2007 and 2014, I worked as a dresser at the Royal Ballet in London, an experience that deeply influenced my understanding of movement, costume, and storytelling. In many of my projects, I oversaw the entire creative process—from concept development to the final product, including fashion catalogues and magazine publications. I frequently collaborated with ballet dancers from the Royal Ballet, contributing to the styling, makeup, hair design, and selecting muse-models. Additionally, I worked closely with other designers to create garments and accessories that aligned seamlessly with the project’s vision.
Much of my fashion work draws inspiration from theatrical aesthetics, particularly puppetry and doll-like styles, reflecting my fascination with the portrayal and objectification of women in media. While vibrant and visually striking, these projects often carried an uncanny quality, delving into themes of identity and otherness.
Whether working with still photography, projection art, or performance, my process consistently blurred the boundaries between fashion and art, weaving personal narratives drawn from both my own experiences and the energy and life stories of my muses.
