Who We Are
Millie Heckler
Founder and Creative Director
Millie Heckler is an interdisciplinary artist who merges movement, voice and original music to tell stories of empowerment through sensuality. Her practice lies in unlocking voices of the body. Through a practice of (re)opening embodied instruments—such as movement, vocalization, storytelling and imagination—she leans into self-remembrance: What am I capable of creating?

PhaeMonae
Costume Designer
PhaeMonae has currently been practicing what defines black futurism, mixing hip-hop/club culture and fine art/high fashion cultures. The booming brainchild is street wear, meets bed-room chic, meets a sprinkle of magic couture. She wants to test the boundaries of what’s “wearable” and do it with “maximalism”. PhaeMonae believe themselves to be someone who everyday gets dressed with the intention of setting the tone for the day. “If I look good and feel good my day can start over at any moment”. It is a meditation and self-practice of gratitude and godliness. It’s a refresh and redress kind of vibe. Shape how the world sees you.
