I wont pass up the opportunity of sharing this collection on this good Friday, where every piece looks to have been sublimely crafted and devised together with a contemporary but also complimentary silhouette with an edgy twist, evoking the cosmopolitan women in you.

The Sinister Crawl, was inspired by Entomology, the study of insects. The collection silhouettes, structures, pattern lines, volume and fine details reference the striking world of bugs and beetles. The beauty of these creatures and their unique colors and forms initiated a journey of research into their delicate and rich forms, which often combine elegance with crudeness, softness with roughness, and perfect symmetry with asymmetry. This fascinating divergence forms the backdrop for the collection.

Happy Easter & Good Friday !!
