"As I began researching this season, I was intuitively drawn to the story of the chrysalis turning into a butterfly. I stumbled on photos of butterfly wings and started collaging them to create a print. This became the starting point for the collection, and the inspiration for its overarching narrative. I loved the idea of conveying this transformation throughout he collection, from cocooning and protective silhouettes to joyful, soft, and sensual explosions of colors and texture. I came to realize that it mirrored my own desire for freedom and release, and the yearning to be in the world."
