Human

Nature

Human Nature is a twelve-look fashion collection I created for the University of the District of Columbia’s Spring 2026 capstone fashion show, Instinct & Incantation. Inspired by the parallels between nature and the human psyche, I designed each garment to interpret a different aspect of being human.Together, the collection explores how our instincts, emotions and identities are often reflections of the natural world rather than separate from it.

I’m Zii,

a DC artist whose work has

never fit neatly into one medium.

I curate worlds through an overlap of

music, fashion and creative direction

and over time this approach has led me on a journey from

producing and performing music to

designing clothes and creating larger experiences

for my community at large.

I’ve been a student of music for

as long as I can remember,

but I didn’t begin putting that curiosity

into practice until my

senior year of high school.

During that time i joined the

McKinley Tech After School

Rock band club

(shoutout Mr. Hatler & 158A lol)

and through that experience I was introduced

to the world of performing.

From that point I spent the next few years

playing, learning and exploring

the DC DIY Scene

which eventually led me to the creation of

Oh Violet.

In 2020 I expanded my

relationship with music when

I chose to study audio engineering

After my schooling, I became the studio manager

of DC’s R Street Studio

where I spent five years recording,

developing artists, learning

how to create infrastructure

and building relationships within

the DC artist community. All of those experiences taught me how

to build beyond my own work

and start helping other artists cultivate theirs,

these practices became the

foundation for Kiazii.

In 2024 I began studying fashion

merchandising and what started as

an interest in the fashion industry

became another part of my creative practice,

allowing me to bring a

visual and physical dimension to the ideas

I explore through music

and creative direction.

I find myself to be someone

just as invested in what I’m building

as I am in what I’m creating.

With Oh Violet

I focus on building a band

that can continue growing

without sacrificing the people inside of it.

In fashion

I focus on building an idea

from a concept to execution

through design, direction and construction.

Through Kiazii

I focus on building a

collective into an infrastructure.

And Right now, I’m focused on

continuing to grow as an artist while

bringing music, fashion and

creative direction closer together.
