What inspires me most is the tension and tenderness between opposites: the heritage of my country and the rhythm of contemporary life, the fragility of craftsmanship and the boldness of urban energy. I’m especially drawn to how the street speaks, in gestures, in silhouettes, in silent codes that pass from one generation to the next.

Paris became the next chapter of my path, where I pursued my master’s degree and began to navigate the industry. I started as an assistant to the artistic director of menswear at Maison Isabel Marant, followed by a role designing jersey across all collections at Saint Laurent. Later, I joined the menswear team at Kenzo, and most recently, I contributed to the ICON women’s collections at Louis Vuitton.

My work lives between layers past and present, tradition and experiment, intimacy and attitude. I am still learning, always looking for moments where honesty meets style, where identity is felt before it is seen.
