ABOUT THE DESIGNER:
Genesis” explores transformation and ritual through texture and craftsmanship. The collection is rooted in the symbolism of the snake — its shedding skin representing cycles of renewal and self-reinvention.
I primarily worked with python skin leather, chosen for its organic texture and innate association with metamorphosis. Several pieces feature engraved leather, achieved through a wet-molding technique that allowed me to carve directly into the surface — as if embossing memory into the skin itself. Mother-of-pearl elements are incorporated sparingly but intentionally, adding layers of myth, reflection, and timelessness.
Each garment is conceived as a kind of second skin, not meant to conceal, but to reveal. Structured yet
fluid, they echo the quiet, personal ritual of becoming and of returning to one’s true self.
