TELL US ABOUT YOUR WORK.
“DI PETSA explores notions of wetness, drawing parallels between the ocean and the femme experience. The brand’s signature – the illusory ‘Wetlook’ dress – is a symbol of self-acceptance and honouring of our fluid state.”
MOST LIKELY TO…
“Be dancing until the morning, doing full-moon rituals, writing poetry on napkins.”
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS’ TIME?
“I would like to have people from around the world connect to the meaning behind our clothes. By that, I mean letting go of shame and embracing the divinity and history of the femme experience.”
WHICH NEWGEN ALUM DO YOU ADMIRE AND WHY?
“Alexander McQueen. For his pure poetic talent and ability to create deep emotion with his shows.”
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE QUOTE?
“‘Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.’ From The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood.”
