With this collection , I explored the hesitation and tension that once held me back from designing for myself, constant resistance to fully putting myself out there, to standing behind my work without flinching.
“Too much?” isn’t just about the clothes. It’s about me, meeting my woman for the first time… wondering if she sees herself in this vision, if she understands her power the way I do, if she’ll accept what I’ve created for her.
Or if she’ll think it’s too much?
But maybe… that’s exactly the point.

One designer who has deeply influenced my design language is Azzedine Alaïa, especially his creative bond with Grace Jones. Their collaborations didn’t just make clothes,they created moments,iconic, unforgettable, Looks.
One that stayed with me forever was A View to a Kill, where Grace embodied the villain May Day. That red ensemble, paired with leather gloves… it imprinted itself on my mind the very first time I saw it.
This is the Infinity Kaftan,
an ode to that memory,
to @maisonalaia
and to @gracejonesofficial
