How I Edit an Outfit

My process from mood to final look — how a look is built, tested and cut back before it is published.

How I Edit an Outfit

My process from mood to final look.

Every look starts as a feeling and ends as a decision.

1. Begin With One Piece

One garment sets the direction; the rest answers to it.

2. Build, Then Remove

I add freely, then take away until only the necessary remains.

3. Wear It Before Publishing

A look that does not survive a full day is not finished.
