I believe design is not about chasing trends, but about finding new ways to understand the world. My inspiration comes from the traces left by time, the subtle differences found in everyday life, and the genuine relationships between people and objects. To me, fashion should move beyond fleeting novelty, preserving the value of thought, individuality, and time amid constant change, while continuing to offer new ways of seeing.

Description
This work approaches stripes as a form of linear language in continuous motion. Through repetition and forward movement, the lines are forced to bear pressure and gradually shift off course, creating a state that is disturbed, yet never fully interrupted.
Disorder here refers to the process in which the integrity of the line is deferred as it moves—the direction remains, but its purity is disrupted. The work expresses this “suppressed mode of existence” through the form of clothing, remaining in a state just before regulation is imposed. It captures the momentary balance that lines maintain in the midst of distortion, suspension, and deviation, preserving a recognisable sense of order within disorder.
