I’m beyond excited to see my Mushroom Muse design featured in the latest fashion story “Cosmic Allure” by L’Officielle Baltics.

I’m incredibly grateful to Celine Bethmann for bringing my fungi design to life with such grace and presence.

The corset is made from fungal leather developed by Anne Zhao. The dress itself was crafted from mushroom-grown material – a result of my ongoing research into sustainable textiles and my vision to unite nature and couture. In this editorial, the piece reveals its full essence: futuristic, soft, and powerful.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire creative team for turning this vision into reality – from the powerful styling by Natalia Mueller and thoughtful assistance by Yasemin Akgül, to the stunning makeup by Sharbel Hasbany and the sculptural hair by David Lee Grenda. And of course, to Alain Egues, who captured the spirit of the design with such clarity and depth.

The complete story is out now. Discover the photo series to see how my design has been brought to life in this stunning shoot “Cosmic Allure”.
