Meet The Designer
Vanessa works at the intersection of craft and memory. With roots in theatrical costume design, she is drawn to fabrics that come with history — garments that once belonged to someone else, materials that once lived in another context. Through reconstruction and reimagining, she gives them a second life that feels intimate and sculptural.
CORE VALUES
-
Respect For Material
We design with what exists, finding new silhouettes in old seams.
-
Radical Quality
We pursue longevity through technique, not shortcuts or trend.
-
Singular Expression
We frame expression through material, so no two outcomes repeat.
-
Enduring Fit
We design for comfort that ages well, not drama that outstays its welcome.
-
Continuity
We create pieces that live across wardrobes and seasons, not single fleeting moments.
-
Intentional Design
We build at the pace of care, allowing concept and material to evolve together.
Our Story in Three Acts

Through the act of reconstruction, she discovered a language of renewal and transformation.
2022 - 2023
Zodiac
The Zodiac Collection marked a shift from introspection toward a broader exploration of identity. Vanessa translated the emotional vocabulary of astrology into form and texture, using pre-loved fabrics to create pieces that merged individuality with luxury.
2024 - 2025
Tarot
The Tarot Collection represents an evolution in Vanessa’s exploration of transformation. Drawing inspiration from archetypes of change and intuition, she created garments using reclaimed textiles such as brocade, jacquard, upholstery fabrics, continuing the brand’s commitment to renewal through design.
