Kaleidoskopie

03/09/2026

These days, all I do is…
make clothes that tell stories.

This look brings together two of my original designs—the Cavalier Jacket and a lace blouse—with a pre-loved Burberry leather skirt, that I independently reclaimed and hand-painted.

For this collection, I wanted to bring reclaimed leather back into Kaleidoskopie’s story giving an existing piece new life through watercolor-inspired botanicals developed from my sketchbook.

The original studio photograph became another canvas, allowing the painted motifs to grow beyond the garment and into the world around her.

From sketchbook to reclaimed leather.
From garment to frame.
One story, told in layers.

Before the frame,
there is the idea.
Before the story,
there is the making.

how I imagined Sarah in this blue bloom

a buttoned lace blouse,
embroidered gloves,
anchored by leather

lace, with a quiet equestrian edge

soft,
but not overly sweet

finished with Kathleen Debby’s hat

a study in bloom, in many forms

an unfolding across texture, color, and hand
