DESIGN Statement
The Fitting Room reflects the quiet process of self-alignment. A space where identities are tried on, adjusted, and ultimately chosen. It explores the tension between discipline and desire, revealing how transformation often unfolds through lived experience. Moving from structured forms to fluid silhouettes, the collection mirrors the emotional act of releasing what no longer fits. The Fitting Room is both a metaphor and a state of becoming, where the old self meets the new, offering designs that balance conceptual depth with wearable elegance, bridging personal narrative with a contemporary audience.
