About

My name is Genesis, I'm a nice gal and I design with comfort, durability, and sustainability in mind. I’m an artist with a powerful drive to help save the world. Let’s face it, the industry needs to approach design from a more compassionate angle. I am 1000% dedicated to this vision of a healthier planet. “I don’t believe in war, I don’t believe in passports or borders. I believe that all of the earth belongs to everyone, and I want to represent that idea through my work.” - Maurizio Donadi

I think this lineup demonstrates the range I can work up to.

This Collection is inspired by the American frontier, and the protective garments they would wear. I took inspiration from old photographs of cowboys and loved how practical and rugged they were. I mixed the old silhouettes with contemporary ones suitable for modernity.
This daywear collection is made from entirely hemp blend fabrics. The graphics are inspired by Kazimir Malevich's paintings.

This collection is meant to be a homage to the beginnings of Sesame Street in the 70's. I pulled silhouettes from the era and combined them with contemporary, trending shapes and materials. Each outfit references a character from the show.
This collection is inspired by ocean conservation, the shapes are pulled from the organic patterns phytoplankton blooms create when the ocean is too warm. I worked from a satellite image of a phytoplankton bloom.

Here are some quick hand sketches, I drew them in under 20 mins.
I was inspired by the notion of a post-pandemic society, and the natural inclination towards nostalgia and comfort by human beings. All of these designs are made from recycled and found materials, a comment on the importance of recycling in the future.

This double jumpsuit is made from vintage sweaters and dead stock materials. I was inspired by my experiences during the lockdown, and working with a partner while protecting ourselves from the virus.
This design is meant to be totally genderless and 100% upcycled. Both models are wearing the same size. I think this project defines the direction I want to head in.

This is a silk charmeuse bodysuit with a long detachable scarf. This design was inspired by the beach at golden hour and was designed to be loose and flowy.
