…began as a photoshoot featuring Pepperdine seniors—those who will be stepping into their next chapter. I released the project on my 27th birthday, a timing that felt less coincidental and more like alignment. The number 27 now carries dual meaning: a personal milestone, and a marker for what may become a full collection in the year ahead.

Through styling, through presence, I’ve experienced firsthand how clothing can shift confidence, energy, and perception.

Season 27, both as an image-making exercise and a future collection, centers on evolution—the act of becoming. It is about aiding that transformation: helping someone elevate, to graduate not just academically, but spiritually and personally.

There is a duality at its core—a dominant meekness. A posture that is grounded yet assured. A presence that says, “I belong here,” not from entitlement, but from effort. From lived experience. From the work of both the individual and those who came before them.

Season 27 is not just about clothing.

It is about arrival.
