Description

DESIGN CONCEPT

I have always been fascinated by the modern youth culture and its rebellious and vibrant nature. At the same time, I am also obsessed with traditional menswear, materials, and techniques.

As a result, my goal has always been to merge the old with the new, to find a place for classic pieces in our hyper-linked 21st century world, and to capture the spirit of today's youth.

Nowadays, with our growing addiction to social media, we are always hiding behind filters, retouching apps, and forced expressions, trying to portray the best versions of ourselves. Our identities online and offline are undeniably different. This leads me to question, where is the truth? Are you really who you are online? My collection attempts to capture this uncertainty by reviving traditional fabrics and creating glitches in classic patterns.
