My first AI-generated Capsule Lookbook.
Sheltering Shapes.
Here are some of the looks — ready for pre-order!
The rest you can discover on my website or create something entirely custom.
This was such an interesting experience: a back-and-forth dialogue with AI across different programs. It all began with my usual series of selfies — testing how shapes work on the body, seeing how they come together to form a story. From there, the exchange grew: initial sketches, images of real garments, my thoughts and face expressions , to capture the mood. It was a deeply intuitive process.
If any of you know hidden tricks or secrets to gain more control over the smallest details in this kind of work, I’d love to learn.
Of course, nothing replaces the beauty of photography and the magic of the process behind it. But AI is a curious companion — one that lets you step into dreamscapes, get lost, and sometimes find yourself looking at something you didn’t know you carried inside.
The Era of the New Human: Seeing Beyond the Illusion
To see is not always to know. Eyes can be tricked—by fear, by habits, by the stories others want us to believe. What cannot be tricked is intuition, that quiet pulse that speaks before thought. I choose to listen more to that silent knowing.
Thank you @stitchingborders for creating this crochet mask with me (in real life :)
On Tuesday it was my birthday. I usually love celebrating life, but somehow, more than once, something happens with my tooth exactly on that day. This time was no exception.
I guess there is always a little suffering before the birth.
So this year I’m wishing myself health, first of all. Also wishing to finally open a creative space, putting it here so it becomes real, a salon where we can create and share ideas.
Would love to build a round house and live in that bubble with the people who are truly mine, and meet new ones who feel just as real.
A lot of traveling would be nice too.
So I guess this tooth is a small sacrifice for all of this to happen 🦷✨

Frieze 2026 Los Angeles
Capturing the Crowd
Loose Threads by Merle Ginsberg
The Hollywood Reporter
The Culture club that attends the annual Frieze L.A. art fair is not one of shrinking art school dropouts. This whimsical group treats its wardrobes as emotional aesthetic armor: there’s little conformity, fabulous eyewear, and in many cases, looks by obscure designer/artist crossover brands. Edgy is the code of the day - standing out enough to fit into the “I am my own art object” club. Takes one to know one.

When your Moldovan fashion designer friend comes over to play…
@alionakononova ✨
The evolution of this piece: During Art Week Mexico City, I painted 25 feet of black tulle for a French opera singer @alice_bertay for her performance with @nobordersforlovers . I brought the fabric back to my LA studio and showed my fashion designer friend, and this happened. Let’s see where it goes.
I do love the creative process. For me it’s all about focusing on the present moment. About being okay “not knowing” what is next. After all, this is life, no?
