The collection explores the boundaries between fashion and jewelry by questioning the adequacy of conventional definitions. Here, “hope” symbolizes inherited frameworks — where fashion is clothing, and jewelry is adornment. But when these no longer serve new creative visions, invention becomes essential.

Drawing from a background in jewelry design, the collection transforms traditional techniques into structural language: prong and pavé settings become fastening systems; chainmail turns into interlinked leather forms; interlocking, basketry, and weaving are reimagined to build fluid yet resilient skins.

Each piece is hand-assembled from flat materials into sculptural forms. These jewelry-like garments do not merely adorn the body — they define it. Existing between disciplines, they merge craftsmanship and fashion into a new material expression.
