• Behind the Seams • of my capsule collection μέλι ✨The final look of the collection was designed to feel soft, ethereal, and effortlessly powerful. Centered around a white gown layered with a faux feather bolero and dramatic open sleeves, this piece became an exploration of movement, texture, and restraint.

Elegance without excess. The faux feather texture brought volume and softness, while the elongated sleeves created a sense of presence and drama as the garment moved down the runway. As the closing look of the collection, it felt important that the piece captured the essence of μέλι ✨ femininity that is both gentle and commanding. Rather than relying on ornamentation, the power of the garment came through its silhouette, texture, and quiet confidence.

• Behind the Seams • of my capsule collection μέλι ✨This look leans into a dreamy blend of boho, bridal, and a little bit of edge. I discovered this stunning lace while sourcing in Las Vegas and it caught my eye instantly. I was gifted the full remnant by a lace manufacturer on the Lunar New Year which made this fabric feel even more special. I would love to use it again for a future collection.

The construction is layered with intention: a soft linen base from my personal stash, then a metallic layer sourced from SR Harris, and finally the beautiful lace. The subtle shimmer peeking through adds just the right amount of light and movement. I committed to a deep V neckline for this piece, and I’m especially in love with how the bell sleeves came to life—they feel both effortless and expressive.

• Behind the Seams • of my capsule collection μέλι ✨This look may read as simple, but it was one of the most technically demanding pieces in the collection. I sourced the fabric from the upholstery section at and was immediately drawn to its contrast—soft metallic threads woven through a texture reminiscent of refined burlap. That tension between delicacy and structure became the foundation of the design.

Because the fabric was so fragile and prone to unraveling, the construction process required urgency and precision. Every cut and seam had to be intentional.

The original concept paired a dramatic bust with wide-leg pants, but as the piece evolved, I felt pulled toward restraint. Stripping it back allowed the silhouette to speak more clearly, resulting in something sleek, elegant, and quietly powerful.
