This small collection is inspired by nymphs and the power of nature over all human.

The dresses are primarily made from silk organza, which has been hand-worked into a post-modern version of the dirndl ruffle. Hand-printed 3D leaves complete the symbolism of the natural forms.

These couture pieces were made during my time in Milan and were my ticket to Valentino Haute Couture.
