If Only the World were Black and White

Project type

Thesis Collection

Location

This collection “If Only the World Were Black and White” created as a winter collection is inspired by the contrast of black and white and the moral complexities they represent, my collection draws from timeless silhouettes and noir films, reflecting mystery and duality.
Featuring all-black materials with depth and texture, my pieces mirror moral dilemmas, evoking the ambiance of old-time detective dramas with a transatlantic flair.
The leather I used has a textured appearance, symbolizing the wear and tear of life's moral ambiguities, with a focus on resilience and character development.
Drawing from 1940s Dior, my collection integrates fur and classic pieces with structured netting and distressed leather, enhancing silhouettes with 3-dimensional effects.
Embracing the thought-provoking narrative of "if only the world were black and white," each piece tells a story of navigating life's gray areas.
