Spirits of a House is a conceptual eveningwear collection that explores the imagined lives and wardrobes of a century’s worth of residents in a single, storied home. Merging avant-garde silhouettes with vintage charm, the collection invites wearers to play dress-up with history, channeling personalities both real and invented.
Reimagined Victorian forms, neutral tones punctuated with playful color, and rich textural contrasts evoke a sense of romantic nostalgia. Each garment honors the past while celebrating individuality, mystery, and the quiet allure of domestic spaces.
Sustainability is a cornerstone of the collection, with materials sourced from vintage fabrics, recycled yarns, sculpted porcelain, mohair knits, antique lace, and handkerchiefs—deliberately omitting brocade in favor of more unexpected textures. This wearable art speaks to women who are drawn to the weird, the unusual, and the charmingly offbeat, offering a fresh perspective on heritage and femininity.
