From the very beginnings of human society, adornment has been the visual manifestation of our identity. We choose our clothing to reflect who we really are. I believe in returning meaning to our clothes – so that what we wear is no longer an approximate reflection of who we are, but are the extension of ourselves.
Placing value and art into something that is so inherently part of us, our clothing, emphasises our value as a human being and deepens our relationship with our world.”
