I’ve always seen clothing as something beyond a piece of fabric. My love for styling developed during childhood. My mom would often remind me, “You are what you wear.” At the time, I didn’t fully understand. Back then, clothing was just clothing. But over time, her words became the root of how I see fashion: a mirror of emotion, growth, and becoming. You feel what you wear. You become what you wear. You are what you wear.

Clothing has shaped how I understand myself and the world. Turning confusion into clarity, change into expression, and beauty into confidence. To me, style isn’t just about appearance; it’s about identity. Every piece, color, and layer tells a story of who I am. What began as my mother’s reflection of me has grown into my own language. A language of fabric and form that speaks to where I’ve been, who I am, and what I’m still discovering.

Layers of Freedom was born from my journey. It’s a vision of self-expression, resilience, and transformation. I hope you find yourself somewhere within it: expressive, evolving, and free.
