Thesis “Dear New Yorker”

This thesis explores the intersection between the comfort of home and the structure of city life through a womenswear collection rooted in soft tailoring and minimalist design. Drawing from the duality of living in New York City while having roots in the slower rhythm of Miami, the collection reflects a life lived between contrasts: urban intensity and domestic ease, formality and softness, interior and exterior worlds.

The garments blend pajama-inspired silhouettes with refined tailoring staples such as blazers, trousers, and shirting. This fusion redefines sophistication through comfort, allowing each piece to transition seamlessly between private rituals and public appearances. The clothes are not merely functional they are emotional, offering a sense of calm and confidence in motion.

Stripes run throughout the collection, acting as a conceptual and visual anchor. They reference both the dynamic lines found in Venezuelan kinetic art and the soft shadows cast by blinds across interior spaces suggesting the in-between moments of daydreaming, introspection, and quiet glamour. These motifs help ground the collection in memory, culture, and a sense of place.

Informed by a post-pandemic world where domestic and professional spheres increasingly overlap, the collection addresses the growing need for adaptability in how we dress. It proposes a new kind of wardrobe for the contemporary woman: one that supports a hybrid lifestyle without sacrificing style, intention, or ease.At its core, the collection is about dual identity: Structured yet fluid, nostalgic yet modern, intimate yet presentable.

It speaks to the evolving relationship between self-expression and function, between emotion and architecture. Each garment offers more than just aesthetics; it holds space for the complexities of modern femininity, proposing timeless pieces designed to move with, support, and reflect the woman who wears them.
