Collection Title: REVERENCE

Bio

When I was a little girl, I discovered the world of fashion through a game called “Style Savvy.” In that vibrant virtual space, I could become a store manager, a fashion stylist, or a buyer, forging connections within the industry. That experience solidified my passion for a future career in fashion. As a teenager, my dream
shifted toward becoming a fashion designer, creating stunning garments and showcasing them on runways. My family supported my aspirations, enrolling me in sewing lessons, gifting me my first sewing machine, and exploring the world of fashion together. I hope to inspire anyone with a dream to pursue it wholeheartedly. When you believe in yourself and invest in your passions, you’ll surpass your wildest expectations.

Collection Concept

REVERENCE (verb): to regard or treat with deep respect. Reverence reflects the deep respect I have for fashion designers who have significantly shaped fashion history. This collection honors both past and present creators by celebrating the beauty of fashion for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or body type. It seamlessly blends the practicality of streetwear with the artistry of luxury garments. Featuring tailored pieces and a range of silhouettes, this collection is designed to flatter and empower diverse body shapes, ensuring that fashion is accessible and inspiring for all.
