Tribute Fashion Show — 2018

Created for Tribute Fashion Show 2018, presented by Mother Model Management at The Big Top in St. Louis, this body of work explores the darker, more intimate side of contemporary relationships—heartbreak, revenge, ghosting, and the strange emotional landscape of hookup culture.

Built largely from deadstock materials, the collection combines original knitwear, custom prints, and experimental garment construction with original artwork developed in my St. Louis studio. The work moves between fashion and visual storytelling, using clothing as a way to examine desire, rejection, obsession, and the aftermath of modern romance.

Presented on the runway within Tribute's high-energy circus-inspired production, the collection brought together handmade garments and artwork to create a distinctly theatrical expression of contemporary relationships.
