Nightshades
Nightshades explores the expressive potential of textiles through custom jacquards, digital embroidery, manipulated floral motifs and hand-finished surfaces. Drawing on a background in painting and an interest in vintage glamour, the collection reimagines the dress archetype through a dialogue between refinement and rawness. Delicate ornamentation is disrupted by exposed construction, frayed edges and tactile finishes, creating garments that balance romance with imperfection. Each look reflects an ongoing exploration of materiality, craftsmanship, and contemporary femininity.
