BEYOND
Beyond is a focus on cultural transcendence and undefined identities. In a homogenized society, the current popular definition for those with transnational identities to hyphenate– defining themselves as an individual with a composite or blend of cultures. My collection is a focus on self beyond that hyphen, where one’s identities exist parallel to one another and function concordantly. I envision what this transcended space appears as to me: where exploration of self can be expressed, and identity can be fluid and beyond assumption. Using minimalism, layering, and translucency, my collection focuses on blending elements of Western tailoring with traditional Eastern costume to create contemporary garments that are recognizable yet ambiguous – existing beyond boundaries and adapting to ever-evolving identities. Focused on self-expression, my customer base consists of a contemporary generation of male fashion consumers that search for experimental and uniquely innovative garments.
