Fall Winter 26

This collection began with something I have always been drawn to: the way materials change with light. Satin, in particular, has an inherent relationship with evening—the way it catches and reflects light gives it a richness and movement that continually shifts. Leather changes too. As the day turns to evening, it takes on a different character, a seam catches the light in a new way, and the precision of a construction becomes more apparent. Even an object you know well can suddenly show you something you hadn’t noticed before.

I wanted to design with those hours in mind. Materials were chosen for the way they reveal depth, texture and character after dark, and familiar silhouettes were reconsidered for evening.

 


Throughout the collection I returned to Western craft, a constant reference for me. I played with leather edges, manipulating them to create a less linear finish drawn from traditional Western leatherwork. The Saddle Bag was introduced and takes its shape and function from my own riding saddle bags, reinterpreted as a handbag for a different purpose.

Leopard returns as well. I have always thought of it as nature’s own pattern and an unexpected neutral—instinctive, timeless, and something I continue to come back to.

Throughout the collection, I was interested in that balance: taking something familiar and looking at it differently.
