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.

  • 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.

Through the act of reconstruction, she discovered a language of renewal and transformation.

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.
