About the Designer

My goal for this show was to create a collection that I could be truly proud of—something complex, intricate, beautiful, and fun. I wanted to reflect the essence of VDR, capturing its dynamic and multifaceted nature in each piece.

My design style is a combination of raw, reclaimed elements with intricate details, where everyday materials are transformed into something new and elevated. I mix texture, craftsmanship, and bold contrasts to create pieces that are both unique and meaningful—combining the gritty with the glamorous to tell a story of reinvention.

About Design One

This two-piece set mixes street style with a nod to the Rosa of Guadalupe. The jacket has a tapestry of Rosa sewn on the back, with hand-stitched mixed metal crosses on the sleeves. The custom patchwork jeans feature the bottom half of the tapestry and distressed legs with cut-out crosses from the same tapestry, reflecting transformation and reconstruction.

About Design Two

My second look combines raw, unexpected materials to create something fresh and unique. The top is made of a mixture of beaded strings, crystals, and gold chain, giving it a sparkling yet rugged look. The skirt was made from a collection of thrifted ties, sewn together for a cool, textured look with a denim waistband for a bit of structure. The beaded belt ties everything together, adding a touch of shine to balance out the more raw elements of the design. It’s about taking what’s old and giving it a new life.
