“I create pieces that everyone has or has had in their wardrobe at some point in their life, except I make them from scratch using artisanal techniques. I find our contemporary relationship to buying and owning very disgusting. We no longer buy things we like, we no longer buy things we intend to keep, we are only interested in things which are cheap and readily accessible. Everything is disposable. My work is a reaction to these ways. Focusing on denim as the symbol of industrial clothing, an everyday object, valueless to most, worn by so many, I work long hours on them to add value where very little is usually seen. Why shouldn’t a pair of denim jeans that you wear everyday be given the same level of attention as a couture dress destined to be worn once?”
