HAUTE NATURE
2026

Haute Nature is a photographic art project where fashion and nature come together. Inspired by my work with mannequins and styling, I transform natural materials into texture, silhouettes, and couture.

Haute Nature is a photographic art project where fashion meets nature.

​

My daily work in the fashion industry serves as a key source of inspiration for this project. Working with visual merchandising, mannequins, and styling sparked the idea to use these familiar elements in a different way.

​

Using mannequins as a starting point, I create sculptural silhouettes and fashion imagery using materials sourced directly from nature.

​

Flowers, leaves, branches, and other natural elements take on a new function: they temporarily become fabric, texture, form, and couture.

​

Haute Nature is my exploration of the boundary between my everyday world of fashion, nature, and art.
