Thank you for entering the realm of my

autumn / winter 2023 collection.

This is

Artificial Athletics.

use headphones for optimal experience

Imagening a near future where the human athlete got replaced by a superior one:

the artificial.

As living conditions got worse and the human body got weaker, humanoid robots got introduced to professional sport events.

In the blink of an eye

they took over.

I merged the concepts of a variety of sportswear styles throughout the history with futuristic silhouettes and created intricate yet wearable garments with a luxury finish.
