Owner of Chromat: an incredible label that focuses on creating conceptual collections combining bold fashion and architectural abstractions. Chromat’s S/S Riox Box Collection was inspired by courageous, fearless women and feminist punks such as Joan Jett, Pussy Riot, and the Guerilla Girls – structures made of genuine leather and piercing swim wear.
