Creative Design Portfolio
GRAU is cutting edge and on the fringe. Through unexpected use of material, hardwear, raw unfinished details, silhouette etc. these pieces should question the norm. Leaning into subculture, darkness is explored with an elevated level of craftsmanship. Surface design, fabric manipulation and textile creation bring these looks to another level. Every piece is subversive, crafted and curated.

Party Girl UO
Party Girl UO, a capsule collection exploring NYC party scene past and present. From Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen to Julia Fox, the allure of the NY Party girl is explored and redefined.
Synesthesia
Discover contrasts and harmonies through a blend of masculinity and femininity. Digitally printed, embroidered, and beaded pieces blur lines between synthetic and organic. Garments are a visual mix of textures and colors, creating a unique tactile experience.
