outfits commissioned by Beyoncé for the promotion of her "4" album.
His signature styles are the color block, the bias cut, the metallic
applications and the crystal embroideries with a 3D effect.
In his vocabulary
the words desire, body, fitness, sexuality, vertigo recurs over and over.

as crepe, jersey, duchesse. His fashion wants to be an "ode” to the
American classics mixed with the most emotional Italian couture attitude.
