Actias Dubernardi

From my earliest memories to the present, dreams have woven a vivid tapestry through my life. In the absence of my parents during childhood, dreaming offered a cherished escape, allowing me to experience the joys of family and the innocence of youth in my imagination. These dreams have enriched my memories with whimsy and wonder, becoming a source of deep pride. Now, I channel these cherished dreams and emotions of my childhood into my fashion collection. Through the use of collage, each piece narrates a fragment of my dreams, showcasing a wardrobe I would don in my most fantastical moments. This collection is deeply personal, reflecting my unique style and essence, as I transform my dreamscapes into wearable art. Presenting designs by Harley Zhu.
