"I believe in self expression thorough clothing. My designs are truly a product of my own wicked dreams. My style is a blend between dark glamour and ultra futuristic. Most of my inspiration comes from Sci-fi movies and my own experience as a 'club kid' in the industrial club scene. I design for the mysterious, adventurous, and playful soul."

How did you decide to choose this collection?
My line inspired by dark female heroine characters with my own playful twist. My line is made up of everything from coats to corsets and skirts to t-shirts. Some of the materials I use consists of vinyl, lace and clear pvc.

How much time do you spend to bring all the elements together?
I work constantly because it is my passion. I am always creating new designs, I even dream about them.

How do you choose your models? What are your criteria?
I choose my models based on attitude and flexibility. The things that are needed in a model is dependability, the ability to adapt to my clothing style, and a mixture of grace and edginess.

What do you expect from models when they come to your casting call?
Personality, a good presentation and a portfolio to show their background and experience.

How do you prepare the models for your shoot?
I am very involved in my photo shoot and I explain how I want my vision to be portrayed. I give them advice on how to pose this way my concept is shown.

What are some things that should or should not be done for the models?
The key is to have a positive attitude, especially if something goes wrong. You never want to create negative energy on a shoot, you will see it in the photographs. You always want to create a confident environment and be creative.
