THE MAIN COLLECTION IS ABOUT BACK TO 1920S AND PEEPING INTO A WOMAN'S LIFE THROUGH THE BACK WINDOW ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THE CHARACTER OF THE PEEPER IS US, THE AUDIENCE, AND "HE" COULD BE ANYONE. THE MOMENT THE WOMAN STEPS INTO HER HOME, SHE DISPLAYS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MOOD AND STATE OF MIND THAN SHE DOES OUTSiDE THE DOOR. IN OUR DAILY LIFE, HOME IS THE PLACE WHERE WE FEEL THE MOST FREE AND LOOSE, AND WHEN WE ARE ALONE AT HOME, THE STATE WE SHOW IS OUR TRUEST SELF. AND IN PEOPLE'S DAILY LIVES, THERE ARE MANY FORMAL, SOCIAL OCCASIONS THAT REQUIRE SOCIALISING, AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN SUCH OCCASIONS IT IS OFTEN THE TIME WHEN THEY ARE MOST ANXIOUS AND UNCOMFORTABLE.

WITH THIS COLLECTION I HOPE TO PORTRAYS AN ELEGANT, CALM, AND SELF-EFFACING WOMAN. LET PEOPLE FEEL THE CHILL VIBES LIKE WHAT THEY FEEL AT HOME, TO EASE THE EMOTIONAL BURN OUT IN THE SOCIALIZATION. FINDING A STATE OF SELF-CONSISTENT THROUGH GARMENT AND REDUCES THE CONFLICT THAT COMES FROM PEOPLE'S MINDSET SHIFTING TOO MUCH WHEN THEY'RE AT HOME AND WHEN THEY'RE IN THE FORMAL OCCASIONS.
