- Summary/Artist's Statement
- From a very young age, I have found art and design so very interesting. I became fascinated by fashion later on and when I was ten years old, I decided that I wanted to be a fashion designer. What is most important to me as a designer is to make the garment beyond functional. As a result, I chose to specialize in sportswear, for it is a category full of possibilities, but at the same time practical. I believe fashion is a way of expressing ourselves, an element of building our lifestyle, and an approach to a more ideal life. Instead of focusing on the trend, I want to pay more attention to helping my customers discover their unique personalities, the personal meaning clothes can bring to them, and the fun of being themselves.
- Image 1: The theme of this look is rediscovering our old closet. The main fabric of the jacket is plaid wool with a layer of organza on top. Fabrics are stitched together using a quilting technique. The concept of the skirt is garment deconstruction.
- Image 2: An additional top can be attached to the skirt on the back. The collars of the jacket are shoulder pads covered with knit fabrics from a vintage sweater.
- Image 3: Underneath the jacket is a reconstructed T-shirt. There are two button holes on each side of the bra top that allows for adjustment of underarm size accordingly.
- Image 4: Buttons are hidden inside the waistband of the skirt on the back so that the top can be attached or detached. There are straps attached to the jacket as well.
- Image 5: The image shows the skirt.
