In a past life, I was a fashion designer showcasing at London and Paris Fashion Weeks.

I worked on commissions for artists such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Daphne Guinness, The Black Eyed Peas, Steven Klein and Steven Meisel. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work featured in several global publications such as Vogue Italia, Dazed and Confused and i-D.

Here are some of my favourites. Please reach out if you want to see more.

While working on this project I fell down a Lars Von Trier rabbit hole. Although I was never completely sure of the true meaning behind his ‘Anti-Christ’, I became enthralled with the idea that Eden was created by Satan and Eve was the original femme fatale. She didn’t ask for permission, she unashamedly ate the apple, and embraced her sexuality and role of temptress.

This new obsession led to a collection celebrating the female form—exploring the idea of strength, sensuality and vulnerability through bold prints created in collaboration with photographer Kristin Vicari. Sheer silks are paired with structural leather pieces to exude power and sophistication, symbolizing the Eve in every woman.

This collection, showcased in the Freemason's Temple in London during Fashion Week, draws deeply from gothic literature—blending dark romanticism with a sense of mystery. The collection features both men’s and women’s clothing, incorporating elements of Victorian and gothic aesthetics: rich textures, intricate layers and dramatic silhouettes that evoke a sense of brooding. 

I collaborated with jeweler Katie Rowland to create an original line of body and face jewelry, designed to enhance the ethereal and otherworldly quality of the collection. The pieces were inspired by characters and themes found in the novels of Dracula, Tess of the D’urbervilles and the Picture of Dorian Gray. Each piece of jewelry serves as an evocative accent, bringing the collection’s narrative to life—inviting the wearer to embrace both the beauty and darkness that lies within.

Inspired by the powerful, often over exaggerated outfits of comic book heroines, this collection explores how these iconic costumes empower women by creating a sense of strength, confidence and liberation. In contrast, it also addresses the shame and judgement that women frequently face about their appearance.

Through bold silhouettes, restrictive shapes and provocative details, the collection challenges these dual narratives—aiming to reclaim agency and celebrate the complexity of female identity.

(However, the collection almost didn’t see the light of day, as some of the garments were too large to fit through my apartment door. )

My debut fashion collection, showcased at London Fashion Week, was inspired by a fusion of religion and science, a moment where spirituality can intersect with innovation.

Drawing inspiration from sacred iconography and the precision of scientific exploration, the collection features an original (and my first) smoke print, symbolizing the ethereal nature of both faith and science. The designs incorporate intricate handmade leather elements, crafted using medieval molding and etching techniques. Each piece was intended as an exploration of duality: where the organic meets the structured, science merges with nature and the masculine and the feminine collide.

Lady Gaga was one of my first clients. Over the years, she wore pieces from my collections to prestigious award shows, during her Monsters Ball tour and in editorial shoots.

Fun fact: I have my own page on Gagapedia—who knew that was even a thing?

Fashion Design for Pirelli

For the 2011 Pirelli calendar Karl Lagerfeld, shot fifteen supermodels, including Julianne Moore, and five men as different ancient Greek and Roman deities in requisite states of undress—with only objects and expressions to symbolize their godly status.

I was commissioned to design wearable sculptures, responding to the brief of “Mythology: Women and Power’. Julianne Moore was to become Zeus’ wife of Hera and Iris Strubegger, Athena.
