Chapter 1 - Evoke
An oath to self, perseverance and overcoming adversity. The genesis of reinterpreted morphology. Dichotomy between cultural relativism and universalism
Initially inspired by the work of Tom Beddard and complexity of fractals. A natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale. It is also known as expanding symmetry or evolving symmetry. Geometrically, they exist in between our familiar dimensions. That served as the starting point of the collection, evidently on the textile development and surface manipulation process. Fabrics are further experimented and engineered to create new interesting texture that mimic fractals. The silhouettes merges the fluid femininity and the bold masculinity of military uniform such as bulletproof vest, armored detailing, utilitarian and multi-functional pieces. Like a military cargo pants that is convertible into a utility tote bag. Injected with the essence of grittiness and rawness, resulting the collection appealed to be bold, unapologetic, unorthodox yet sartorial and modern at the same time. A dichotomy of urban streetwear and athletic sportswear which was referenced from the sculpture work by Gil Bruvel.
