Collection

TO SOLIDIFY WIND

To Solidify Wind is a collection rooted in the personal desire to feel more at ease while navigating fast-paced environments and social interactions. As one of the most intimate forms of design, clothing offers a constant source of contact. This collection is an attempt at developing a holistic understanding of a moving sanctuary and offering a chance to reconcile with ourselves. Subtle anxiety-relieving details are hidden within layers of grey in hopes of conveying clothing as a consistent form of companionship.
This collection is designed through restraint, as an homage to quietude.
