Alongside my studies, I work in a men’s tailoring atelier, further developing my skills in traditional craftsmanship, construction and precision.

Each piece is carefully handcrafted, combining technical precision with artistic expression to create garments intended to become a true second skin.

CC emerged from my desire to develop an independent design language rooted in craftsmanship while challenging conventional ideas of fashion.

My work explores individuality, sculptural silhouettes and the relationship between the garment and the person wearing it.
