When I interviewed my partner, Gabby, I was really inspired by her love for both Miami, and winter and sweaters, so I focused on that contradiction as I started this project. She also likes icy colors, which led me to look into the Art Deco District in Miami, which is full of rich pastels. Looking into that, one thing led to another and eventually I had a lot of 80s and Miami Vice references. With all of these things as my main inspiration, it lined up well with one of my core values: nostalgia. Because essentially, I was looking back on a time and place that I’ve never been. So I created a winter collection that emulates the fun, carefree vibes of Miami as well as how I perceive  the 80s.
