I am an avid follower of the news, and sometimes you just can't take any more war, any more disasters, and you want to remind yourself there's beauty in the world. I wanted to show a more poetic side to my work. It was all about... a feeling of sadness, but in a cinematic kind of way. I find beauty in melancholy.

I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.

I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
