Description

Design concept:

Inspired by Tsukumogami, found in Japan's native religion of Shinto. It is believed that not only humans but all living things including the inanimate can become a reservoir of souls after ninety-nine years. In this collection, the core value of Tsukumogami was taken and transformed into another appearance – small things that are easily overlooked in Hong Kong. By transforming a plastic bag into fabric is to present the spiritual statement of abandonment. Also, ‘Covered with a quilt on the body’, ‘legs placed into the sleeping bag’, ‘plowed pants’ and ‘bloated sweater’ etc. are created based on the aesthetic of homeless chic in fashion.
