Project: LECOSEDIMENTICATEFashion Design2023
The collection "LECOSEDIMENTICATE" represents an introspective journey through the chapters of my life, transforming memories and passions into visual creations. Every element, from vintage photos of my father to the unique mark of my dog, is shaped into a tangible expression of identity.

My source of inspiration is deeply rooted in my story, from the experiences to the memories I have cherished. In the creation of this collection, I worked with a variety of elements: technical fabrics, prints, and laser cuts. Each piece is more than just a garment; it is a narrative chapter that unfolds from my birth until today.

The distinctive elements, such as oversized silhouettes and unique accessories, serve to emphasize the personality and authenticity of the collection. I wanted to capture the essence of who I am now, while maintaining a tangible connection to the past.

The collection "LECOSEDIMENTICATE" is an ode to my identity, a wearable work of art that reflects not only who I am, but also what I have forgotten, and yet remains firmly a part of me.

Project: LECOSEDIMENTICATE, MAGAZINEFashion & Graphic Design 2023 The magazine “LECOSEDIMENTICATE” is a visual and personal narrative that explores themes of identity through fashion design and creative direction.

Centered on familiar elements and personal memories, the magazine combines military and sports uniforms with significant details from my personal experiences, creating a mature and comprehensive collection.
Influenced by Stanley Kubrick, my photographic style enhances the aesthetic, while analog photography and a carefully curated layout allow the magazine to represent not only the garments but also the rich immaginary it aims to convey.

It is a work that tells an introspective journey, capturing the essence of what has been forgotten yet remains deeply connected to identity.

Project: 44 LABEL GROUP Fashion & Graphic Design  2024This project was born from the intersection between Berlin’s rave culture and my personal experience in Muay Thai, both connected by a strong concept of freedom. 44 LABEL GROUP, with its roots in the rebellious and ever-evolving aesthetic of the rave scene, embodies a sense of power and breaking conventions—something I also found in Muay Thai, a martial art I practiced that represents control, resilience, and inner freedom.

In my interpretation of the brand, I blended these seemingly distant worlds, focusing on bold volumes, innovative materials, and functional details. I also worked on the graphic elements, developing visual components that complemented and enhanced the brand's identity. Every design decision was guided by the concept of freedom, both expressive and physical, which I experienced firsthand, while maintaining a simple and accessible approach aligned with the essence of 44 LABEL GROUP.

Project: CHILL DAYSFashion Design2022
CHILL DAYS is a day spent remembering moments that will never come back.
The warm days, the lunches at my grandparents' house, and the afternoons with friends.
The films, the videotapes, the analog photographs.
That atmosphere that conveys a sense of calm and harmony.
All of this merges with geometric shapes and architectural designs that inspire the details and volumes of the garments.

Project: LEAVE NO TRACEFahion Design2021 The idea stems from the goal of designing garments with dressing design, developed through the analysis of the relationship between functionality and aesthetics.
The functionalities of the garment are multiple and connected to the needs of the wearer and their interactions. Based on this, garments are created that are closely linked to the body.

These garments thus have aesthetic, behavioral, containment, and transportation functions. The main inspiration is the military world, which merges with everyday clothing, resulting in a product that is both artisanal and cutting-edge.

The garments are made up of interchangeable elements, hidden zippers, and buttons, allowing the wearer to modify the pieces by adding or removing accessories. Other key elements include strategically sewn pockets that serve as both textile details and storage spaces.
