In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?

Fashion has fallen out of sync with nature, and I think that its journey towards sustainability should be one of rewilding. For me, that means looking backwards rather than forwards. I’m interested in peeling back the years of industrialization and globalization to find the most natural ways of making clothing, going back to the traditions of yesterday.

What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?

A thriving ecosystem is one where the value we give something is proportionate to its positive impact on nature, the planet, and other people. Currently, we live in a society where a tree is worth more dead than alive. To me, a thriving ecosystem is the exact opposite.
