DESIGN STATEMENT:
The Nephele Collection explores duality in fashion, inspired by the Greek goddess Nephele, symbolizing strength and vulnerability. This collection juxtaposes tailored, upcycled suiting with fluid, draped metallic pieces,
creating a dialogue between structure and fluidity. By deconstructing traditional menswear and combining it with feminine silhouettes, the collection challenges societal ideals of femininity, promoting the coexistence of strength and vulnerability. The contrasts are within the fabric and structure themselves but also through the symbolic representation of qualities such as strength vs vulnerability, promoting the idea that they can coexist within a single identity.
