about me

Hi! My name is Sebastian Camilo Bilger, and I was born and raised in Huntington Beach, California. Ever since high school, I've been fascinated by fashion. During my senior year, I launched my own clothing brand as a project, which sparked my passion for design and ultimately led me to study fashion design at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California.

Fashion has become the way I explore ideas, tell stories, and challenge myself creatively. I've always been drawn to how garments are constructed, how fabric can completely change the way a piece feels, and how clothing can communicate emotion without saying a single word.

That passion for fashion eventually led me into photography. What began as a way to document my garments became another creative outlet. Through photography, I've learned how lighting, composition, color, and perspective can completely transform the way a design is experienced. I enjoy creating images that not only just show the clothing but also captures the mood, story, and personality behind each piece. Photography has taught me to pay attention to the smallest details and has influenced the way I approach fashion design as a whole.

I'm inspired by a wide range of influences, including street culture, music, photography, sports, and travel. I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and view every project as an opportunity to learn, grow, and push myself creatively.

I believe the best work comes from staying curious, embracing experimentation, and never being afraid to create something that feels personal. My goal is to continue developing as both a designer and photographer while creating thoughtful, well-crafted work that reflects curiosity, craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for the entire creative process. You gotta treat every day as a different lifetime.
