HAUTE COUTURE - COLLECTION 02
Collection 02 emerged through close collaboration with long-time partners, capturing a shared artistic vision. Photographer Ruven Afanador and the brand’s muse, Christina Kruse, played an essential role in bringing this vision to life through a stunning photoshoot. The collection draws on the elegance of European couture while embracing the modern energy of New York City.
Drawing inspiration from ballet, the collection incorporates elements of corsetry, originally designed for the NYC Ballet. This influence is reflected in the way the garments create both shape and fluidity, transforming traditional corset styles into new forms. The collection’s palette focuses on black and white, with carefully considered design details that create an understated sense of drama and grace, ensuring each piece stands out while maintaining its sense of refinement.
