Rebirth

The idea of this collection is to reveal those beauties hidden in the winter spirit. Following the minimalist design principle, the garments keep fresh and neat appearance with simple silhouettes and clear outlines. Details such as oversized collars, Velcro loop closures and asymmetric structures provide visual highlights to the looks. Low saturated Morandi color selection helps neutralize color temperatures to create more gentle elegant textures for the garments. There is no need to follow the others. Beauties are hidden in the true selves, pure, simple, unique and special.

Smart Breath Down

Smart Breath Down is a ski down jacket designed for both skiing and everyday wear. The jacket uses a breathing system based on the distribution of body heat and sweat, aerodynamics, technical materials and a special structure. During exercise, hot and humid air is gathered and guided through airflow channels to specific heat dissipation areas. Adjustable outer channels let cold air enter, creating air circulation inside the garment. Zippers on the chest and sides open to speed up heat release. About 85 percent of the materials are recycled.

Are We

Are We is a womenswear collection created to raise awareness of the damage caused by humans to the marine world. The design highlights the beauty of coral systems and ocean waves. Lightweight silky organza is used in multiple layers to form flowing flares over a soft netting base. Each coral-like ornament is handcrafted and hand-stitched one by one, and the main garment carries about 300 of these details. Loose silhouettes and layered attachments give the collection a soft and full movement. The intent is to encourage people to protect the ocean.

Oak Project

Oak Project is a hand-woven knitwear collection inspired by the oak forests of the Zagros mountains in Iran. Each cape is knitted entirely by hand with two knitting needles, without industrial machines. One cape takes about 100 to 120 hours to complete. Natural wool and cotton are used, so the garments are durable and safe for the environment. The motifs are first drawn freehand, then prepared as carpet patterns, so the knitting follows the method of a hand-woven carpet. Sizes are woven to order using standard clothing measurements.

Kinematic Konnection

Kinematic Konnection is a garment made from laser cut acrylic pieces. Hundreds of gold jump rings join roundels measuring one inch by one inch, cut from smoke colored acrylic sheets. The pattern was calculated mathematically, and sample variations were tested to millimeter accuracy to set the ideal width and thickness. The glossy surface returns subtle reflections, much like a mirror. The joinery balances movement with weight, referring to the pressure of unrealistic standards of physical image in ballet. The linked structure also allows pieces to be added or removed to adjust the fit.

Monologue

Monologue is a transformable fashion collection that provides portable private spaces for the wearer. Each garment holds lightweight, expandable structures that open to form a personal shelter and close again when not needed. A dress becomes a sleeping bag, jackets include built-in face coverings, and tops expand into tents. The structures are inspired by the engineering of children's pop-up books and are built with tailoring materials such as neoprene, silk-wool blends, cotton twill and horsehair. The linings are printed with hand-painted, calming imagery in monochrome tones.
