My collection is inspired by my summer job working in a Nantucket yacht club, USA in 2023. The collection explores the intersection of wealth, power, and the mystique of the mafia. I’ve reimagined 1930s menswear for women, infusing it with a sense of authority and sophistication.

Using luxe fabrics like pinstriped wool, red satin (symbolizing blood), and gold satin (symbolizing wealth), each piece embodies the allure and complexity of the mafia world. My design process includes stand work, flat patterns and appliqué. The dollar sign motif is a recurring theme, representing the relentless pursuit of prosperity.

Through this women’s wear A/W ‘25/’26 collection, I challenged traditional gender roles, portraying women as both powerful and elegant. By embracing the mafia aesthetic, I invite viewers to explore the hidden realities behind wealth and influence.
