The Matrimony is about blending two worlds—

streetwear and high fashion—to challenge how

society links style to social class. This collection

merges silhouettes and fabrics often labeled as “low-

class” with those considered elite, using fashion to

explore race, wealth, and identity.

​

Inspired by designers like Virgil Abloh and Dapper

Dan, I wanted to reflect how communities of color

have long redefined luxury through creativity and

resourcefulness. My pieces mix structured leather,

woven textures, and tailored cuts—clothing that

could belong in both a Supreme drop and a Chanel

showroom.

​

This collection is personal. It’s shaped by how I grew

up, what my family wore, and how we’ve navigated

class over time. Every garment tells a story, and every

look is designed to be remembered.

Most of all, The Matrimony is a tribute to my mom, a

single mother who showed me the power of strength,

style, and vision.
