AND I

From the very beginning, the vision for “AND I” was unmistakable. This series was born to confront the raw realities of identity, legality, and love—tensions that many endure but seldom voice. It isn’t merely about fashion; it’s a medium for sparking reflection, igniting dialogue, and turning personal truths into bold public declarations.

Central to this collection are phrases that demand to be seen and understood: “Too Sweet for Broke”, “Green Card Only”, and “Lover Must Be Legal.” These aren’t just slogans; they are loaded with meaning, capturing fragments of lives lived at the intersection of emotional and societal boundaries. Each word provokes thought, revealing the struggles, contradictions, and dreams of those navigating worlds defined by rules and expectations.

“AND I” transcends clothing, serving as a statement of movement and purpose. It addresses the friction between aspiration and acceptance, the quiet defiance of staking one’s value in a world obsessed with validation. This collection speaks to those who carry untold stories, who wear their strength with vulnerability, and who refuse to be silenced.

This series is my homage to those journeys—preserving them in a form that cannot be ignored, bringing the invisible into focus, and declaring that identity is not a limitation but an evolving narrative to be embraced.
