Ready to wear collection / Design & production

“I shape this collection as an open ground where every body finds its place, with pieces that adjust to people, celebrate differences, and offer a way of dressing that breathes with a plural and ever shifting community.”

This permanent collection grows from a simple intention, dressing real bodies in all their diversity. I do not try to soften differences, I welcome them. Rather than using the word unisex, I speak about multisex, because it opens the field, shifts the conversation, and invites each person to enter the silhouettes on their own terms.
I shape every piece as a tool for freedom. The same designs move from one body to another thanks to a wide and generous range of sizes. The cuts stay flexible, the volumes follow the rhythm of the wearer, and the lines step away from restrictive gender codes. The clothes adapt to the people who wear them, not the opposite.
This project expresses another way to approach fashion, one that refuses exclusion or sorting, one that speaks to a broad spectrum of bodies. I claim a space where age, weight, and gender no longer dictate access. The garments act as companions, not obstacles.
The collection carries a calm yet determined political pulse. It questions inherited categories, embraces the richness of human silhouettes, and offers an open aesthetic to a community that shifts and expands. It becomes a place of encounter, tuned to the realities of those who inhabit it, a fashion that circulates, breathes, and connects.
