CREATIVE DIRECTION
Soul Over Signal – Stüssy Campaign
Vogue College of Fashion (London)
A whimsical rebellion against conformity that merges my creative identity with Stüssy's street culture. The capsule collection celebrates human connection over digital noise.
Block parties. Jump ropes. Childlike wonder as means of protest.





What started as a brand collaboration brief became a published editorial. The concept caught the attention of Vogue College of Fashion and grew into a larger argument: that fashion's future depends on protecting what makes us human.
