I approach fashion as a system rather than a spectacle, focusing on how clothing functions over time, materially, socially, and structurally, rather than on trends, personalities, or visibility.

From my perspective as a designer working within the Vellum philosophy, fashion is not decorative; it is infrastructural. It is a language of control, function, and intentional deviation.
