People buy things everyday. We eat for living, we dress for covering and surviving. You go back home and check the receipt for what you bought for home wear. In this collection, I try to blur the boundary between home wear and daily dressing. Is this a home wear? Or an outer wear? Or maybe just wear it if you want. Making garments that can go across different wearing situations which increase its utilization frequency. A mixing between leisure and delicacy, retro and modern, traditional classics and industrialize outcomes. 

The point of departure is through a thinking around purchase. We all consume now and then in every daily aspect. Dining is the most basic habits that everyone holds for living. Taking apple pealing as a kind of metaphor, an ephemera. We peel the apple and throw the apple peel into garbage bin. Through this series of behavior that derive from our intention to eat, the skin of apple become the waste. The apple peel dangle down like the the dangled receipt that proof what you bought. Receipt and the apple peel all go into the garbage bag in the end, what about the others? Looking around, is everything become a waste one day? Clothes stay in the position of our second skin, are we wearing garment, receipt, apple peel or a future waste? I try to bring these ideas into my collection.
