The duality between untamed nature and regal femininity,
celebrating a woman who is both fierce and graceful.

PATTERN CUTTING

TROPICAL MODERNISM - SS26

The spirit of Brazil through a mid-century modern lens,
merging the optimism of the 1960s and the futuristic allure
of the Space Age with the raw strength of Brutalism.

Inspired by the sinuous lines of Oscar Niemeyer and the 
sunlit elegance of Rio’s golden era, the collection blends fluid,
organic shapes with sharp architectural tailoring.

PROFILE





I didn’t start in fashion but here I am!



My background was built in structure, numbers, and strategy — in spaces where precision mattered more than expression. But even there, I was always drawn to something else: the way presence is constructed, the way a woman can enter a room before she says a word and how all forms of art makes our days better! Moving into fashion wasn’t a break. It was a continuation — just in a different language.

Today, my work sits between design, styling, and visual research. I’m interested in the intersection of femininity and structure — in pieces that don’t rely on exposure, but on intention. I look at architecture, history, and form as much as I look at clothing. Because what we wear is never just aesthetic — it’s positioning. It’s how we choose to be perceived, and how we choose to perceive ourselves.

I don’t believe in obvious dressing. I believe in precision, in quiet confidence, in silhouettes that suggest rather than reveal. Whether I’m developing a concept, styling a wardrobe, or studying a collection, my focus is always the same: to build a refined, intelligent expression of femininity — one that feels current, but never disposable.
