Sarah Jessica Parker
Among the most memorable projects during my time at Halston was contributing to the design and development of a custom piece for Sarah Jessica Parker. The process involved close collaboration with the senior design team on silhouette decisions, fabrication selection, and the fitting process — an experience that underscored the precision and care required when a garment is being built for a specific person, for a specific moment. It was an early lesson in what it means to design for impact: not just aesthetically, but contextually.
The Agate Print
For the Agate Print, I drew inspiration from cross-sections of natural agate stone — the fluid, concentric banding that forms over thousands of years inside rock. Translated into a textile print, that geological reference became something unexpected: an abstract with the visual complexity of fine art and the versatility of a foundational print. The organic banding worked particularly well for eveningwear and occasion dressing, where a print needs to feel intentional and elevated rather than pattern-for-pattern's-sake.
The Orchid Print
The Orchid Print was developed as a surface design for the collection's fluid, draped silhouettes — the kind of garment Halston built its legacy on. The motif was chosen for its organic elegance: orchids carry a sense of luxury without ostentation, which aligned precisely with the brand's point of view. The print was designed to move beautifully in motion — critical for the bias-cut and draped pieces it was intended for — with a scale and color palette calibrated to feel rich rather than decorative.
