CELESTIAL
A source of inspiration for my collection “Celestial” was Thierry Mugler’s work and his Fall/Winter 1995 couture latex corset collection. I wanted to combine latex and sequins to achieve a sophisticated, elegant, and unique look that would be attractive to celebrities and people with an artistic mentality.
“Celestial” has two meanings. One is astronomical or heavenly, and the other one is godlike. I wanted to express both meanings through my collection by using a magnificent sparkly sequin fabric that glitters like a star, and latex which is an ideal fabric to show female form. Belt bags started trickling into street style since 2018. The trend infiltrated every corner of the fashion world but they have a more casual appearance and are big enough to carry stuff that you need for your daily routine. I wanted to create and incorporate into my collection a belt bag/phone case made of latex and sequins that would be perfect for going out. A sleek bag that is ideal for carrying a phone, credit cards and ID so ladies can enjoy their evening without the need to carry a bulky purse.
