- Final Major ProjectThe inspiration of this collection came from the secret stories behind the commodities. My personal family heirloom, a kimono was the trigger of this collection. The aim of this collection is to express the great history of various commodities from our past as well as present generations and convey these stories for generations to come. To achieve this I researched and explored various treasured commodities, vintage flea market items, old photographs, websites and books. This collection will be Ready-to-wear Womenswear AW collection and has an aesthetic of minimalistic feminine inspired design with a sophisticated Asian atmosphere, suitable for high end markets.
