This collection reinterprets the Hanbok (traditional Korean costume) which is the base of the silhouettes. The way to dress experimentally gives freedom and creativity to all fronts. The suit Coexistence combines a top, a dress, and trouser; however, this dress reuses the jacket pattern and the top, the pattern of the collar of the Denim Long coat. The Jacket Pleated comes from the pattern of the Asymmetric Pants. Is this a jacket or a trouser?
Perception of the Eyes is a wearable art dress inspired by eyes and vision. The garment mirrors the form of an eye on the bodice, where the breast suggests the shape and the nipple marks the pupil. Strips run from that point toward the ground, crossing at set points of intersection to form a pattern that falls into waves. The pattern recalls scientific diagrams of the refraction of light. The bodice is built as a corset with wire and stiff faux leather, which allows the strips to be pulled tight. The hip lines echo vintage shapes in a contemporary form.
Alternative is a genderless fashion collection of fourteen items, including tops, bottoms and outerwear. The collection is inspired by ancient unisex garments from Western and Eastern cultures, such as the Greek chiton, the Roman tunic, the Chinese shenyi and the Thai jongkraben. Each item uses flexible connections, materials and folding, so the fit can be adjusted to different bodies. The garments are presented on male and female bodies. The intent is not to hide the body but to blur fixed dress boundaries and support self-identity.

The Metamorphosis is a handcrafted garment inspired by the ideas of mutation and evolution. The design is based on exaggerated animal skeletons shaped to fit the human body. The resulting forms suggest a cross image of human and animal. The garment is made of biodegradable plastic, leather and hair. The plastic is scrap material that is hot pressed with hair to form a fabric. The leather and hair are recycled from studio leftovers and barbershop waste. Arm, hand, front, back and foot parts can be removed and reassembled for easy wear and later replacement.
This collection transforms the idea of Light in both physical and psychological aspects. The quality of brightness is emphasized by manipulating contrast of different low saturated tones and colors. Light fabrics are used to provide gentle and comfortable feelings. Creative structures and detachable pockets, lapels, and strapped corset, allow the looks to be more variable. Garments can reflect the interactions between the wearers' psychological emotions and their physical environment. The goal is to encourage the wearers to express their own aesthetics and styles fearlessly.
Renaissance is a trench coat designed for both daily and evening wear. The coat is made of wool and has a magnetic closure. Further magnets are placed in the lining. Short handwritten messages on Tyvek paper can be attached to these magnets to change the look. The trench coat can be worn plain for work and then personalised later in the day. The design is urban and minimal in form. Sizing covers 34 to 42, or small to large. The intent is to offer one garment with two moods, from formal to playful.
