As a first-generation immigrant, I've wrestled with the weight of juggling diverse expectations and the push to conform to a singular identity. My work disrupts the idea that garments should remain static from cradle to grave, advocating instead for a fluid, adaptable approach that embraces both constructivism and universalism.
Through a sustainable fabric fastening system seamlessly woven into the knit itself, these garments possess a transformative quality. They can shift and evolve alongside the fluid identities of those who wear them. By minimizing the reliance on plastic buttons and zippers, we create mono-material garments that are easier to recycle, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
This transformative aspect reflects the rich tapestry of experiences among those navigating the intersections of culture and identity. Rather than stifling individuality, these garments celebrate the complexity of each wearer, inviting them to embrace their multifaceted identities with confidence and pride.
