From the Studio

I began designing long, dramatic, voluminous silhouettes with thoughtful details. Chevron stripes aligned at the front, back, and side seams. Matching belts. Asymmetrical hemlines. Tiers.

The fabric itself felt like a lightweight canvas—structured and casual. I loved the contrast of a ballgown-like shape in such an unfussy textile. I pictured my customer styling it with her favorite worn-in sneakers, the grittiness of the shoes adding to the drama of the skirt. That’s when I started calling them “The Tuesday Ballgowns.”
