The collaboration between Callie and the creator of Quod was founded during her days at Central St. Martins. A fusion of their mutual fascination with unconventional fashion and the allure of Victorian silhouettes gives life to multiple collections. Callie’s pieces always begin as blind contour pieces and have been described as having a darkly romantic edge with a chaotic nature.

Egg on my Face
"Drip, drip. Eggs sizzle in the skillet. Ikshit, the creator and head designer of Quod, specifically requested eggs for this collection's menu. The inspiration for this choice comes from contemplating the idea of ourselves as eggs, waiting to be cracked open and reveal our inner selves."
