ABOUT

COSTUME AS ART. VINTAGE AS PHILOSOPHY

I work at the intersection of costume design, fashion history, digital couture, and curation — disciplines connected by a fundamental question: what does it mean to dress a body, and why does it matter?

My background is in scenography. For years I designed worlds for the stage — sets, costumes, the visual language of a production. Theatre taught me that nothing worn by a body is arbitrary. A garment carries history, psychology, identity, time. I learned to read clothes the way others read faces, and that way of seeing has never left me.

My practice gradually expanded into digital fashion, designing 3D garments, characters, and visual campaigns for international clients. The medium changed, but the questions remained the same: form, materiality, identity, and the relationship between the body and what surrounds it.

Alongside my artistic practice, I developed a growing interest in costume as a cultural object — something to be studied, interpreted, preserved, and exhibited. This continues through my MA research in Cultural Management at the University of Tartu, examining international exhibition and curatorial practices, the cultural interpretation of dress, and museum approaches to costume heritage.

My work in contemporary art and exhibition-making also explores the relationship between fashion, sustainability, and ecology. What we create, what we discard, and what we choose to preserve are not only material decisions. They reflect our values.

These interests come together in VoxVintage, my independent vintage clothing brand. Built on a curatorial approach to dress, it brings together garment history, aesthetic judgment, restoration, and a contemporary fashion philosophy focused on sustainability. The process of finding, assessing, repairing, and presenting a garment is part of the work — making carefully selected vintage clothing accessible to those who wish to wear it.

Everything I have learned about clothes is now in service of making them easier to love.
