  • This piece is a reflection on the complex nature of human connections—the delicate balance between the liberating and the constraining, the nurturing and the toxic. Designed and imagined to be worn by two people simultaneously, it features an identical front and back, symbolizing the symmetry and shared experience that exist in true connections. Just as relationships can either bind or free us, this garment adapts to the wearer’s choices—an invitation to explore the dynamic tension of intimacy and independence. When worn by a single person, it transforms into a striking maxi, oversized silhouette that evokes a sense of personal space and empowerment. Whether shared or solitary, this piece speaks to the fluidity of connection, where the power lies in how you choose to wear it, how you choose to define your relationships, and how you embrace your own sense of freedom.

    In this garment, the core concept unfolds through its model and structure, while the materials convey a secondary, equally compelling narrative. This maxi shirt is crafted from a vintage silk blend from the 70s/80s, paired with a curated selection of original 60s buckles, each piece a relic of a bygone era. The seams are deliberately left unfinished, a subtle yet striking contrast between the timeless allure of vintage glamour and the raw, unrefined edges of modern existence. This juxtaposition is further emphasized by the untamed ends of the restraining laces, where the delicate meets the rugged, creating a visual dialogue between past elegance and the rough texture of contemporary life. Every detail, from the fabric to the unfinished accents, speaks to the tension between refinement and imperfection, capturing the complexity of time itself.
