Bugtopia combines “bug” and “utopia” to imagine a world shaped by the strength, beauty, and adaptability of insects. Inspired by their forms and life cycles—like cocoons, shells, and exoskeletons—I transform these ideas into wearable designs using techniques such as leather wet molding, 3D printing, and vegetable tanning. The collection blends human and insect elements to create surreal, sculptural pieces that challenge traditional fashion.

At its heart, Bugtopia explores transformation, vulnerability, and survival—reminding us that, in some way, we’re all a little like bugs.
