She pays scrupulous attention to fabric construction creating surfaces by painstakingly intricate treatments. She aspires to the creation of a clean and minimal image.
Her ensemble also includes textured ties, scarves, leggings, caps, bags, shoes and other lifestyle products. These represent a congruent blend of styles and elements of contrasting nature: contrasts in terms of fabric, weaves, color, styling and other design details.
