Biografia

I design for modern nomads — people moving through cities like crossing deserts. My work blends technical functionality with emotional durability, inspired by tents, backpacks, and the poetry of survival. I explore modular, adaptable clothing with maximal detailing, where complex pockets and layers become both tools and design features. All of this is united in black, turning extreme complexity into minimalist elegance. I create garments that are not just worn, but lived in, companions for those always in motion.

Concept

This Modern Nomadic ensemble explores the intersection of functionality, adaptability, and sculptural design. A black nylon high collar with wrap-around webbing and zipper-snap fastening provides adjustable facial protection, while a sleeveless top features Z-shaped shoulder quilting, a gun-shoulder pad, multiple pockets, and an adjustable back panel for shaping. An accordion-pleated rectangular bag converts for hand-carry or crossbody wear and can be secured through back loops with the top. The parachute-pleated skirt includes side closures, double-flap 3D pockets, a rear zip forming an “eye” shape, and a detachable 3D square bag. The series blends modular functionality, transformable silhouettes, and maximal detailing within a minimalist black palette, reflecting the spirit of urban nomads and wearable architecture.
