Proof of Existence

The colors and symbolism of the rainbow flag were the inspiration for this ready-to-wear collection. In addition to their design details such as box pleating and shirring, each powerful look also has its hand-made pendants and beads attached to the fabrics creating textures. This intense monochrome and the unique eccentric silhouette supported by the construction details offer interesting visual impressions. It's all about how creatively the design language is translated into clothing without sacrificing the construction details or aesthetics, suggesting fresh new looks.

Sense Move

Sense Move is a light emitting costume designed for dancers. The costume folds into geometric shapes that follow the movement of the body, forming a kinetic sculpture on stage. Light effects express changing emotions. A slow fade suggests breathing, and a flash suggests excitement. A sensing glove is included as part of the costume. When a member of the audience touches the hand of the dancer, the light changes in response to the touch. The design aims to strengthen the emotional connection between performers and viewers.
