Design project statement:Everyone dark side and moments of negativity, retreating for protection. We hide this from others and even ourselves, finding safety and comfort in doing so. This feeling, like hiding under an umbrella, offers readiness and control.
The umbrella symbolises inner growth and protection, creating a personal bubble of comfort and privacy. My collection embodies experimental fashion, serving as wearable art for occasions like the Met Gala. Wearing these pieces instills a powerful sense of protection.
