“RUN WILD” captures the primal essence of rewilding, pushing back against humanity’s desire to control and contain nature. Through the lens of both nature and architecture, this collection explores the tension between structured environments and the untamed forces of the natural world.
It embodies the raw power of nature reclaiming space, reminding us that organic growth, chaos, and freedom exist beyond human control offering a reflection on the beauty of letting go. Inspired by the practice of rewilding, wherein ecosystems are given space to regenerate naturally, this collection fosters a more harmonious relationship between humanity and the environment. It calls for rebuilding the bond we share with nature, encouraging a shift from exploitation to mutual support. As nature nourishes us, we must learn to support nature’s flourishing in return. This ethos is at the heart of my work: to reawaken this connection and, through design, inspire change.
My approach is centeredaround sustainability and ethical responsibility. Each piece is crafted with circular design practices, ensuring longevity and the ability to be repurposed at the end of its life cycle. The use of natural, regenerative materials including 100% silk, silk-linen-wool blends, 100% wool, cotton drill, cuproensures minimal environmental impact. Specific garments are naturally dyed and Eco-printed using plant-based resources, such as rosemary and eucalyptus, which create unique, one-of-a-kind prints that reflect nature’s beauty. These dyes are not only non-toxic but are entirely compostable, leaving no harmful trace behind.
My design process is slow and deliberate. Each piece is carefully crafted with attention to detail and an emphasis on comfort and adaptability. I have chosen A-line and I-line silhouettes to complement structured garments to flowy. “RUN WILD” is a celebration of nature’s resilience, beauty, and delicate interconnectedness, offering a reflection of the world we must nurture and protect. Through these pieces, I hope to inspire a new understanding of our relationship with the planet, one that is built on love, care, and respect. This thoughtful approach to design allows each garment to move in harmony with the body and the natural world.
By offering pieces that embrace the spirit of rewilding, my goal as a designer is to not only create beautiful, functional pieces but also to challenge the industry to evolve, to embrace sustainable practices that not only reduce harm but actively restore and replenish the planet. Through “RUN WILD,” I hope to inspire others to rethink their relationship with the environment, to understand the impact of their choices, and to recognize the power of fashion to drive meaningful change. This collection is not just a visual or aesthetic statement but a call to action a reminder that we are part of nature and must treat the Earth with the care and respect it deserves.
