F/W 2024 ‘LOVE/ADDICTION’

The 2024 Fall/Winter collection is a combination of the designer’s signature looks and some new-to-the-designer approaches to accommodate the colder season. The collection was first showcased at Fashion Community Week in San Francisco in March, 2024, and for the campaign returned to Manhattan, NYC.

‘LOVE/ADDICTION’ is about the thin border between loving someone and being addicted to the subject of admiration. As such the original runway looks were broken down to the theme of: SEDUCTION, WARMTH and CAPTIVITY.

The collection is a Bronze Winner at the International Design Awards 2025 in Other Fashion Design/Avantgarde Category.

RED TONES, SILICONE ROSES

The collection is using a significant amount of red pigments as the ultimate color of love. Handcrafted silicone roses complete the concept on elegant party looks.

SEDUCTION

The first set of looks is all about the deep, seductive feminine aspect that almost all collections are hovering over. The looks are made of liquid silicone rubber, the material the designer has been using over the last decade. The colors are added individually to each piece.

FAUX LEATHER PIECES

The collection features couple of looks with faux leather, pants and tops, for a shiny, but yet everyday applicable look.

ALL DRESSED UP

Besides the designer’s signature swimsuits and dress looks, there are a couple of full looks with elegant pants and tops, that can be worn both to parties and to less dressy events.

SIGNATURE LOOKS

The designer has been working with silicone rubber since 2014 to create her signature looks throughout multiple collections using this versatile, waterproof material.

FLEXIBLE FIT

Silicone adapts to your body temperature and is stretchy, while the thickness allows the drape to be clean, embracing and enhancing the body’s natural features.

WATERPROOF LOOKS

Silicone rubber is a waterproof material, which is easy-to-clean and dry. This is one of the many reasons that makes it into a comfortable swimwear.

FAUX FUR COATS, SHORT AND LONG JUMPSUITS

This season, for the first time ever, the designer introduced faux fur into her collection, creating open-sleeve coats, a short jumpsuit with a hoodie and a warm long jumpsuit.

WARMTH

As much as love is sensual, it is not a lasting experience without tenderness. The warmer looks are metaphors of this aspect of a romantic relationship. The looks are on the edge of a rural, cottage-feel warmth on a winter night at a fireplace while they can be elegant and upscale, depending on the styling.

GLAMOUROUS LOOKS

The collection references its sister collection the F/W 2019 ‘POSSESSION’, where the insecurity that can pop up during a loving relationship takes form in the ambition to possess the other person, which was symbolized by the glittery, glamorous looks, referring to material possession,
