julia marina

I am a creative and detail-oriented Fashion Design student with a strong interest in pattern making, garment construction, and the development of versatile pieces designed to be worn and transformed in multiple ways.

My practice focuses on modular design, sustainability, and experimentation with shape and form. I am particularly interested in creating garments that encourage interaction, reinterpretation, and adaptability through design.

I see fashion as a space for experimentation, play, and creativity, and I am eager to continue developing my skills while gaining international experience in the industry.
