with a singular vision: to create garments that transcend trends and speak to the eternal human desire for beauty, meaning, & transformation
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I consider myself a artist producer in which i create garments to narrate a story to bring forth a vision of the divine, from fashion, theatre to producing high fashion runway shows around the world. It was born from the intersection of art and identity. Each stitch carries intention. Each silhouette tells a story.
Where do you find inspiration?I believe fashion is the most intimate art form. It touches the skin. It moves with the body. It speaks before words are formed. FOREVER LAVI exists to clothe the extraordinary and bring viewers to another dimension.
What would you do with $25,000?I would add $25K to my 100k budget, where i will be investing in my book tour of the The Book of Lavi a 5-chapter immersive culinary experience where each course represents a chapter, paired with a model embodying the corresponding look & a narration telling the story. This would be a pilot to once my book is finished to then produce a broadway theatre play in NY Fashion Week depicting each chapter in a theatre performance act! This is my lifes work & to have Johnny Depp cosign would be honored.
