Last night was special.
I had the honor of being chosen to design for The Pitt — and seeing the cast receive the 2026 SAG Award was beyond ecstatic.

Moments like this remind me why I do what I do.
The gown was crafted in silk — ti

meless, fluid, and powerful. But what many don’t see is just as important as what they do.

Hidden within the architecture of the dress were structural elements made from Kelptex, our seaweed-based biomaterial. While invisible to the eye, it replaced traditional petroleum-derived stabilizers often used inside couture garments.
Because sustainability in luxury doesn’t have to shout.

Sometimes it simply needs to exist.
For me, red carpet moments are not only about beauty — they’re about quietly proving that regenerative materials can live inside the highest levels of fashion without compromising elegance.
The exterior honored tradition.

The interior represented the future.
Congratulations to the entire cast of The Pitt on this incredible recognition.

And thank you, Tracy, for trusting me to be part of your journey.

The future of couture is not just what we see. It’s what we choose to build beneath the surface.

I would like to thank the Indian Government for inviting me to speak at their 7th international seaweed symposium. I will be speaking about seaweed as the new material frontier and how we can engage public and private finance to develop this sectior

And with that we conclude 2025
Thank you all very much!
