āLeaving Has Another Nameā
Some people were always going to outgrow the room they were given. Not because the room didnāt fit. But because they kept growing anyway ā into themselves, into something that needed more space than this. Leaving and arriving are the same movement. You donāt always know where youāre going. You donāt always know why. But at some point the moment is just there, and itās okay. Itās okay to take up space. Itās okay to call it freedom instead of loss. This is not a story about saying goodbye.

Iām proud to introduce my avant-garde collection 2026
- CORAL OF THE OCEAN
āWhere beauty, strength and vulnerability meet.ā
Inspired by the shapes, colours and movement of coral, organic, powerful and alive.
A world beneath the surface that continues to inspire.
This collection also celebrates the beauty, strength and presence of women of colour, expressive and impossible to overlook.
But behind that beauty lies fragility.
Our oceans are changing.
Coral is disappearing.
With this collection, I honour what exists, and what we risk losing.
An ode to colour, texture and identity.
To strength that deserves to be seen.
Protect what is rare.
