Manifesto

Everything began with an image that had been returning to me for a long time: a nocturnal coniferous forest after rain. Low mist between the trees, wet needles, the cold of the earth, the scent of damp wood.

The image would surface through music, in the smell of perfume, in moments of distance from everyday life, which had always felt foreign and ill-fitting to me. Over time, it began to expand: taking on its own symbols, rules, and weight. It stopped being merely a place of escape. I began to see it as something I eventually had to translate into an object.

In this context, Alexander McQueen's work mattered to me - not as an aesthetic template, but as an example of how a deeply personal emotion can pass through the discipline of form, construction, and detail.

Within the world of the brand, nature is romantic, but not innocent. It is dark, damp, slightly suffocating, and decadent. Thorns intertwine with flowers: lily and jasmine. Delicacy does not erase weight here; rather, it learns to exist with it. This contrast is important to me because I do not treat it purely as an aesthetic, but as a kind of tension I know very well.

At a certain point, I realized I did not want this world to remain only in my head. I wanted to give it a form capable of carrying its emotional weight - not through excess, but through precision, material, proportion, and the way it is presented. That is why refining these elements took so much time.
