MINT

Published in Mint Magazine

Taking you from the abstract to the real, Symmetry’s designs stimulate your imagination. Whether draped, wrapped or sculpted, paper re-imagines the human form. Paper engineers painstakingly fuse fashion and fetish in provocative wearable art. Pleating, weaving, precision folding and cutting techniques delicately transform paper into bespoke, pret-a-porter statement fashion.

Published in Solstice Magazine

Revel in a fiery fusion of culture crush and carefree spirit. Artfully pairing sizzling tailoring, twirl-worthy tassels and red hot feminine finishes, this laid back look dances to the beat of its own drum. Inspired by foreign shores and fierce love affairs, these styles are so sharp you could slice a finger them. Take this trend to fever pitch with crimson kiss-swollen lips and boots made for living la vida loca. It may take two to tango, but it only takes one to lead.

Heartbreak Hotel

Published in Institute Magazine

“Recklessly pairing extravagance and economy, this gritty look celebrates hot neon, deserted streets and empty sheets. When you’ve got nothing but expensive taste and attitude, it’s time to embrace a little rebellion. Escape to a place where nobody knows your name – where the walls are as paper thin as your alibi – and live out your wildest dreams with a side of cheap scotch and stardust. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.”

Juxtaposition

Published in Institute Magazine

Contrasting feminine elegance with a whole lotta of rebellion, this look is cool, carefree and quirky. Pairing soft, summery separates with edgy accessories and a sense of restless energy will toughen up any aesthetic. Juxtaposing dark and light, hard and soft, feminine and masculine… she defies classification. She’s a real wild one.
