K.N.C.R. is a very special collection for me, an avant-garde work that I created in tribute to my father, who fought with incredible bravery against cancer until the end. This collection is not just clothing; it’s a representation of the strength, love, and transformation I experienced by his side, and I hope to reflect these unique and meaningful designs through it.
Each piece in K.N.C.R. is inspired by the physical, emotional, and psychological stages of that tough battle he and so many others face. For me, these stages are summed up in four words that encapsulate the journey of all those who have lived through this experience:
Chaos, Denial, Courage, and Resilience.
CHAOS: It’s the confusion that arrives with that first blow when the diagnosis hits like a bomb. I’ve expressed this through asymmetrical designs and disordered patterns because that’s exactly how we feel in those moments.
DENIAL: Captures that phase where we try to resist, reject reality, as if doing so could change it. Here, the designs are more rigid, repetitive, reflecting that desperate attempt to maintain control when everything feels beyond it.
COURAGE: Is the strength that arises, often from the deepest parts, when you decide to move forward despite everything. The bold cuts and vibrant details in this part of the collection speak of that bravery, of that power you didn’t know you had until you need it.
And finally, RESILIENCE: Is the rebirth. It’s the ability to adapt, to find a new way to live and keep going. These garments flow, move with grace, symbolizing hope, recovery, and that incredible capacity to keep fighting and transforming.
The entire collection has a common thread: the use of pink tones. This color, so associated with the fight against breast cancer, not only symbolizes love and hope but for me also represents the battle, the strength within it. Pink is present not only in the garments but also in the hair, creating a visual connection that reflects the continuity of love and strength throughout the entire process. And the red background in the photographs is a symbol of passion, of that inner energy that drives each person to keep moving forward.
The images in the collection show vulnerability in a raw yet beautiful way. Hairless heads reveal the fragility that only those who have lived the battle know, but at the same time, they represent the power that exists in each stage. These photos not only document an external transformation but also celebrate the inner strength of those facing this disease, with a power that is not always visible but is undeniably there.
K.N.C.R.
is not just fashion or hairdressing. It is a cry of love, a declaration of human beauty and strength, even in the darkest moments. It is my tribute to my father, whose courage and resilience profoundly impacted me. Through this collection, I want to honor his memory, celebrate his bravery and his capacity to be reborn again and again, reminding us that even in the midst of absolute chaos, there is always room for courage, for hope, and for starting anew.
Finally, I want to send a big hug to all the people who are fighting or have fought against this disease, and a kiss full of love to those who are no longer with us, especially my father. Dad, I love you. This collection is for you.
