Collection

Syconium

Inflorescence borne by figs, formed by a fleshy, hollow receptacle with multiple ovaries on the inside surface.
Inspired by the process in which figs are made, the collection touches on themes of formation and femininity whilst natural & chemical materials converge.

Bio

Born & raised in Los Angeles, I am curious in approaching everyday-wear with an artisanal, delicate sensibility.

My work is piqued by experimental materiality, upcycling, draping and knitwear, with an interest in photography.

I live in Lower Manhattan with my cat, Baby.

Previously: Collina Strada, Melitta Baumeister, Paloma Wool, WWake.
