Fashion is for everyone.
Inclusivity is the core for design and development, to ensure every body feels confident and good in what they wear.
“My love for fashion began from identifying a known gap in our industry. I struggled throughout my childhood and young adult life of not feeling good in what I wore, because nothing would fit right. Designing was my outlet to create styles that were both size-inclusive as well as height-inclusive, and that led to me pursuing a degree in fashion so I could finally feel good in what I wore.”

These are some of the designs I created, utilizing WGSN and current Abercrombie & Fitch trends. my team focused on inclusivity as well as sustainability, by utilizing plant based fiber and tech in the creation of these designs.
