Design Work
Ready to wear collection
This project explored the development of a ready-to-wear capsule collection created as a collaborative partnership between my personal design brand and an established fashion house. For this collaboration, I selected Cult Gaia as the partner brand, drawing inspiration from its sculptural silhouettes, modern femininity, and distinctive balance of artistry and wearability. Through trend research, market analysis, and design development, I translated key elements of my design identity into commercially viable pieces that align with Cult Gaia’s customer while maintaining the artistic integrity of my own creative vision. This project challenged me to consider how conceptual design can evolve into market-ready fashion through thoughtful collaboration and brand alignment.
Bridal Collection with AI Exploration
This project involved the development of a bridal collection designed as a collaborative partnership between my personal design brand and Cinq. Inspired by the elegance and sophistication of 1930s eveningwear silhouettes, the collection draws from the era’s fluid draping, bias-cut construction, elongated proportions, and understated glamour. The goal was to merge my personal design perspective with Cinq’s romantic, vintage-inspired bridal aesthetic, creating a collection that honors historical influences while feeling refined and relevant for the modern bride. To further visualize and refine the collection, I experimented with NewArc.ai to create 3D renders of the designs.
FSF Case Study
This FSF competition submission explores a conceptual collaboration between Westport Yachts and Galia Lahav to create a bridal resort wear collection that merges maritime sophistication with couture bridal craftsmanship. The project reimagines bridalwear for the modern destination bride, designing a collection intended to move seamlessly between yacht-side celebrations, coastal ceremonies, and luxurious post-wedding escapes. Drawing from the sleek architectural forms and polished interiors of Westport’s luxury yachts, the collection bridges the luxury craftsmanship of both brands to create a resort wear bridal collection to take brides from bachelorette trip to honeymoon. These elements are paired with Galia Lahav’s signature romanticism through intricate embellishment, delicate transparency, and elevated craftsmanship.
