“My collection works to juxtapose beauty and filth through style and design. I aim to translate the inside composition of the human body, of what we wear on the inside (organs, bones), into apparel worn on the outside.

“From what I viewed at Omaha Fashion Week this Spring ‘24 season…There was so much red. Everywhere. I loved it. Red is often associated with romance, but I have always associated it with attention and rebellion. For me, it symbolizes confidence, seductiveness, edginess, 90’s goth fashion,…As a former scene queen (or tried my hardest on MySpace to be one) who worshipped Emily the Strange and spent months obsessing over Courtney Love when I was younger, red is special. It’s edgy, it’s punk, it’s hot, and it’s elegant. It’s whatever you want it to be, but it’s a statement. Especially when it’s red and black together.”
