from the Graduation Collection “I Love You Mom”
RLSD Competition Shortlist · Nasrin Kadri Music Video · 2024–2025
Reclaimed leather. Hand-set studs. A corset with a pocket for tissues.
Inspiration & Process
Behind the Scenes
Red leather, reclaimed from discarded jackets and old upholstery. Every stud set by hand, one by one - hundreds of silver points pressed into the hide with a setter and a mallet. The corset has a hidden pocket sewn into the boning, sized for a packet of tissues. My mother, Chani, always carried tissues in her pocket. That detail is quiet and private inside a garment that is anything but.
This is part of "I Love You Mom" - my graduation body of work at Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art. The ensemble's lining incorporates my mother's satin nightgown. Red wine bottles became the inspiration for a sculpted leather accessory.
The collection was shortlisted for the 2025 RLSD (Real Leather. Stay Different.) international design competition and later selected as the wardrobe for Nasrin Kadri's music video "Lo Lifnot Elay," appearing throughout the video and on the album cover.
The red is unapologetic. The studs catch light and throw it back. But underneath the armour, in that hidden pocket, the collection holds what it's really about.
