COSTUME AS ART. VINTAGE AS PHILOSOPHY
I work at the intersection of costume design, fashion history, and digital couture — three disciplines that all ask the same 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 full 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.
From the stage I moved into digital fashion — designing 3D garments and campaign visuals for international clients, bringing the same attention to form and meaning into a medium that exists only as light. From there into curatorial work, building exhibitions where costume was treated not as decorative object but as cultural evidence. And alongside all of it, academic research — an ongoing MA in Cultural Management at the University of Tartu, with a thesis on costume heritage and the stories garments carry long after the people who wore them are gone.
I have also worked as an artist, curating and participating in exhibitions that examine fashion through the lens of sustainability and ecology — asking harder questions about what we make, what we discard, and what we choose to keep.
All of it leads to VoxVintage — my current project and the thing that makes the most sense of everything that came before it. A curated vintage clothing brand built on the conviction that beautiful, sustainable vintage should be effortless to own. That the work of finding, assessing, repairing, and styling should be done by someone who actually knows how — so the person wearing it doesn’t have to.
Everything I have learned about clothes is now in service of making them easier to love.
