"Agender me" explores how traditionally feminine and masculine elements in fashion can be used to build a genderless style today. The project involves an investigation of what gender really means and how it is constructed through fashion, but it also investigates how fashion reflects these gender roles at the same time.
Just as the concept of gender is changing, so is fashion and as a designer, I consider genderless style a natural step in what will be the history of fashion. We are currently witnessing a struggle against traditional ideas about gender and the slow disappearance of stereotypes in which fashion plays an important role. In this project I work and experiment with this unisex style to blur the boundaries between male and female stereotypes. I combine elements associated with the masculine and feminine inspired by the fashion of the 1950s, a point in history in which the roles of men and women were completely different. By combining these elements I try to create a harmony in each garment between the "masculine" and the "feminine".
At the same time, this project involves questioning the unisex style of current fashion in which a hidden masculinity can be perceived. To design and create genderless fashion, both traditionally feminine and masculine elements must be questioned and constructed and not only the latter used to create unisex fashion.
Following this idea, I intend to continue an already open dialogue about what gender is and take this concept to the next level in fashion.

"Labels" is a project inspired by current social labels, subcultures and the street-wear style .
The project focuses on labels and how identity and archetypes are constructed by society through a vocabulary that, despite being necessary for the social struggle and for minority rights, contribute to the construction of categories and stereotypes. Gay, heterosexual, man, woman, male, female. In fact, "Labels" is a rebellious action against these labels inspired by the counterattack that the subcultures born in the 80s represented against oppressive policies, economic decline and conservative currents of thought.
Taking inspiration from these subcultures and urban tribes, "Labels" takes a street-wear style through denim and leather, materials with hard and strong connotations and with little gender connotations.
