Sacred Threads - 2023

Derived from Pedro Almodovar's "Dark Habits" film, this collection explores monastic attire through shape, volume, and colors. Featuring a Madonesque silhouette with sheer fabric draping and halo-like stitching, the designs incorporate vintage bedding quilting techniques prevalent in the movie scenes.

Elevating streetwear to a luxurious level, the pieces showcase satiny fabrics and voluminous cuts, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
