Saphi is a collection I submitted to the NFWF in Fall 2023. This collection was inspired by my Peruvian culture, hence it's name. Saphi meaning Roots in Quechua, one of the indigenous languages of Peru and was spoken by my past family. 

​

In this collection I utilized upcycling, from a tradition textile I brought back from Peru, it is incorporated in two of my looks.

​

These designs were created Spring '23 and their illustrations can be seen here.
