Where high fashion meets high tech
A fusion of innovation and elegance
The YSL x Apple collaboration redefines the intersection of luxury and technology, bringing elegance, functionality, and everyday practicality into a cohesive collection. This collection is designed for the modern, tech-savvy individual who seamlessly blends high fashion with daily digital interactions. Each product is inspired by the essentials we use every day-from AirPods cases to phone accessories, eyewear, and travel bags— ensuring that luxury is not just an aesthetic but an integral part of daily life. A key highlight of the collection is the YSL Apple Watch strap, inspired by Apple's collaboration with Hermès. This piece is designed for those who admire heritage luxury brands like Hermès but seck a more accessible entry point into high fashion. Just as many consumers opt for an Hermès Apple Watch instead of an expensive handbag, the YSL x Apple collaboration offers a similar opportunity-allowing fashion enthusiasts to integrate YSL's timeless sophistication into their everyday tech without compromising on usability or affordability. By merging Apple's innovative technology with Saint Laurent's bold yet refined aesthetic, this collection enhances everyday essentials with a touch of Parisian luxury, making style and function inseparable in the digital era.

Project 2
Midnight Opium is a reflection of my personal aesthetic—edgy, layered, and unapologetic.
The collection draws from a lifestyle built around accessories, low-rise silhouettes, and statement details like hardware, lettering, and body-focused styling.
Elements such as glasses, piercings, and tattoo-inspired graphics influence the visual language, creating looks that feel both raw and intentional.
Through denim, mesh, and coated fabrics, the collection explores a balance between structure, sensuality, and individuality
