About Me

Fearless Femininity in Fashion

I’m a fashion design graduate inspired by women’s experiences in society and sexuality, specialising in lingerie and intimate-inspired outerwear that empowers them to express sensuality on their own terms.

My collection Unapologetically Sexy explores the tension between fear and confidence in female sexuality. I blend lingerie aesthetics with outerwear principles, using considered pattern cutting to craft garments that both reveal and protect. My work challenges outdated norms, using feminine design as a tool for empowerment and personal expression.

INSPIRATION

Sex is cool. but have you ever fucked the system?

Sex is cool, but have you ever fucked the system? I use female nudity as a design language to confront shame and control. Exposed skin, sheer mesh, delicate straps and open panels are used not to sexualise—but to empower. I merge vulnerability with bold structure, turning the body into a statement of defiance. Every reveal is intentional. Every line, slit, and cut-out is a refusal to apologise for being seen, desired, or in control of one’s own narrative.

I take inspiration from traditional lingerie—corsetry, harnesses, slips—and merge it with outerwear silhouettes like tailored blazers, biker jackets, and trench coats. This fusion blurs boundaries between what’s hidden and what’s seen. By recontextualising intimate garments into public wear, I challenge the idea that sensuality must be private, creating pieces that empower women to own space, attention, and desire—unapologetically.

MY WORK

PORTFOLIOS

DETAIL

Lingerie Techniques Meet Outerwear Strength in Bold, Feminine Design

Unapologetically Sexy brings together lingerie craftsmanship and outerwear silhouettes to explore strength through sensuality. I use techniques like adjustable straps, underwire casing, and cup shaping to sculpt and frame the body—placing these typically hidden details at the forefront. Sheer fabrics and negative space create tension between concealment and exposure. Strapping becomes a framing tool, while soft cups offer shape without restriction. Finishes such as hook-and-eye fastenings enhance the intimate feel. These refined elements are reimagined in structured outerwear pieces like corseted jackets and open-back shirts. Every garment is made to empower—transforming lingerie techniques into bold statements of confidence, visibility, and unapologetic feminine power.
