“As we  embark on our life journeys, we need protection beyond our ecosystem. We need protection when no one is there, when we feel alone, a way to dress and express ourselves that allows us to feel comfortable and safe in our own skin.  

As I found myself on a journey with All Star Heaven, feeling the weight of my past on my chest and shoulders, I came to realize that this project came to me to bring clarity into my life. As I felt the impact, I saw myself on the other side of the storm, standing on deck, soaked in water, feeling drained, empty and alone. While I peered at the rising sun, its rays breaking through the gray and cloudy sky, I felt the warmth on my skin. In that moment, the urge overcame my body, to take off all the heavy layers that had been burdening me for so long. I wanted to peel and peel until I reached my core. 

As we travel through life, we carry so much with us, unaware of what our experiences can cause and how they impact our future. All Star Heaven unexpectedly led me on a journey of self-exploration. The self I had neglected, burdened and ignored. It made me understand that by not looking deep within and not following my inner compass, I would lose myself in the midst of life’s storms.  

With that journey in mind, I had to design a selection of wearables that would allow me to travel light through life, without the extra burden of weight on my shoulders. These garments have come to become life companions, protecting its wearer from the elements, but doing so lightly, with ease and movement. Their colours are bright, subtle and warm, their shapes comforting in the midst of life’s stormy seasons.”
