As a dual-heritage fashion designer, my work explores the intersection of heritage, rebellion, and identity. Born in New York to Bulgarian and Dominican roots, I exist between two contrasting cultures - one shaped by Afro-Caribbean resilience, the other by Eastern European traditions and post-communist conformity. Through design, I bring these worlds into dialogue. My practice is rooted in critical investigation: questioning societal norms, exposing overlooked truths, and reinterpreting cultural symbolism through contemporary design. I celebrate forgotten crafts and revive the mundane through abstraction, distortion, and visual rebellion - disintegrating reality to construct a new one. Each project is both personal and political, driven by research and storytelling. I use fashion as a medium to reclaim identity, challenge stereotypes, and reframe how we perceive tradition, masculinity, and cultural pride. Through this lens, I aim not only to reflect the world - but to reconstruct it.
