RMIT Bachelor of Fashion (Design)
This collection is an imaginative exploration of fashion the end of civilization. As human civilization is dying and the earth's resources are being depleted, as the world teeters on the brink of Armageddon, what will become of fashion? My collection is called Yūgen. 'Yūgen' is rooted in Buddhist thought and translates as a 'mysterious abyss', It means the profound beauty of the universe and the poignant sadness of human suffering. In landscapes where survival is paramount, my design prioritizes defense. Drawing inspiration from the need for protection in post-apocalyptic conditions, I delved into multi-layered protective garments, incorporating protection into a variety of clothing prototypes. This collection is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, capturing enduring style in the midst of chaos again.

After the end of the world, a fashion popularized by doomsday survivors. Human civilization is about to die out and the earth's resources are depleted, what kind of fashion will be popular in this situation? My collection is called Yūgen . Yūgen is often translated as "mysterious abyss." The word is from Buddhist thought. Yūgen describes the perception of the beauty of the universe and the beauty of sadness in human suffering. My design concept is that defensive clothing is needed in a post-apocalyptic environment.Therefore, I explored the multiple layers and protective functions of clothing.I tried to use defensive designs in different types of clothing prototypes.
