AS MY FIRST COLLECTION, MY ONLY TRUE INTENTION WAS TO CREATE A MEANINGFUL LANGUAGE THAT COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE CONVERSATION OF FASHION. GIVEN MY BACKGROUND AS AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER, MY TRANSITION TO FASHION DURING MY STUDIES CAME WITH VERY FEW RULES, AND I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS. WHAT STARTED OUT AS FUNCTIONAL PANTS FOR SKATEBOARDERS EVOLVED INTO A DESIRE TO COMMUNICATE EVERYTHING I LOVE THROUGH CLOTHING, AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME CLEAR THAT NEARLY EVERYTHING I LOVE HAS DARK UNDERTONES.
