Design Statement:
“In October” is a fashion collection that fuses art and haute couture to narrate a compelling story inspired by various poems. It traces the journey of self-love, healing, and transformation, where everything represents a metaphorical chapter in the protagonist’s evolution from vulnerability to resilience. Taking cues from visionaries like Iris van Herpen and Sixdo, this collection reimagines the female form as a living canvas for sculptural exploration. Meticulous boning structures, delicate fishing wire illusions, and crinoline cutouts create garments that mimic the graceful billowing of clouds and the fluidity of smoke. Against a backdrop of monochromatic minimalism in nude, white, and light gray hues, the subtle smoke-inspired gradient mirrors the emotional flows of self-discovery. “In October” invites wearers to embrace their femininity with sensuality, just as one does on a path to self-love. It is a poetic tribute to the journey of self-love and the delicate art of becoming.
