Midas Touch is a collection inspired by the story of King Midas, with three looks representing the key characters: the King, his daughter, and a personified embodiment of the magic. Each design explores transformation—both in the garments and in the characters’ development throughout the tale. Motifs in each piece reflect moments in the characters' journeys within the fable. Drawing on musical theatre costuming techniques, the collection is richly embellished and crafted for live performance, bringing each character to life on stage.
