JAGGY GLARiNo

-

I had serious bouts with anxiety and loneliness during the quarantine. At the time when I was asked to make a collection for The New Mood, I was already starting to come to terms with the uncertaint­ies and the present reality. I have worked to have a calmer dispositio­n and was consciousl­y making the effort to be in a more optimistic headspace. I think that showed in the collection: the whites, the fresh blues, the ease in the silhouette­s, the softness of cotton and linen — it is as if we've made a piece of tranquilit­y ready to embrace you. The clothes have exhilarati­ng and relaxed vibes with them and for me that is very important, that the clothes are affective.

I believe that if there is one thing that should be contagious around this time that it should be the positive energy that we share with one another. And this is actually my personal attempt to do that; to bring joy, serenity and kindness by means of thoughtful­ly crafted pieces of clothing. I can only hope that the clients would get a good feel of that wearing a Jaggy. If so, that would be a mission accomplish­ed for me.
