FABIOLA TALAVERA — What motivated you to start this project?

AZZMMA — I started my project as a way of finding a means of personal and aesthetic expression that encompassed my interests yet allowed me to expand into other disciplines. I found the answer in a hybrid between attire and sculpture.

I like to allow that mutability.
