Designed by South Texas-based artist Nico, this collection delves into the delicate dance between beauty and decay. Inspired by the withering elegance of decaying roses, it captures the fragile essence of lost innocence. The garments, meticulously crafted by Nico, evoke a haunting yet graceful transformation, where innocence gives way to the weight of experience. Complementing the collection, the jewelry—conceptualized by Nico and brought to life by Brandon—adds an intricate layer of storytelling, embodying the beauty that lingers in the remnants of purity. Each piece serves as a poignant reminder that in decay, there is both sorrow and strength.

Brandon’s work within the collection explores the theme of decay and renewal through the medium of wearable sculptures. The pieces reflect the delicate beauty of wilting roses, where decay marks the beginning of a transformation into something uniquely expressive. Raw, organic elements like twisting vine links and real thorns are carefully intertwined with the presence of diamonds, which are not symbols of luxury but rather a stark contrast to the decay. This juxtaposition highlights the enduring beauty found in unexpected forms. These sculptures are a testament to how, even in decay, there is a newfound grace—a different kind of perfection that tells a story of resilience and change.
