This collection begins

with a question I once lived inside.

 

Before becoming a designer,

I worked in bespoke tailoring.

 

Precision.

Discipline.

Repetition.

 

Everything had a correct way to exist.

 

Staying felt stable,

yet suffocating.

 

Leaving opened freedom,

but came with lasting mental fatigue.

 

FW26 emerges

from that fracture.

 

Tailoring begins to mutate.

 

Suits split.

Garments open.

Details detach.

 

Structures can be reconfigured,

loosened,

or left unfinished.

 

Nothing is fixed.

Nothing is resolved.

 

To tailor

is to feel confined.

 

To design

is to feel drained.

 

Between the two,

there is no balance.

 

Or perhaps,

balance never truly existed.

 

This collection does not seek harmony.

It accepts contradiction

as a way of surviving.

 

Choice is not freedom.

Stability is not peace.

 

Meaning exists

in the in-between.

 

Cracked.

Unfinished.

Yet persisting.
