Concrete Jungles is inspired by the streets of New York

City—where struggle and style coexist, and every block

tells a story. This collection fuses high fashion with urban

grit, reflecting the tension, resilience, and raw creativity

that defines life in the city. It’s about more than clothes—

it’s about survival, ambition, and self-expression.

​

Rooted in intersectional identity, this collection explores

how race, class, and environment shape not just who we

are, but how we present ourselves to the world. Each look

speaks to the lived experiences of navigating systems that

weren’t built for us, while still finding power in personal

style.

​

From concrete textures to structured silhouettes, Concrete

Jungles captures what it means to thrive in an environment

that’s as unforgiving as it is inspiring. This is fashion for

those who’ve made something out of nothing—and keep

pushing forward, one step at a time.
