REALM
A full six-look collection developed from concept through design, pattern cutting and sampling, including the development of bespoke footwear for the collection. Presented on the runway at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo SS16 at the Ebisu Subaru Building, the project was selected to represent Hong Kong through Asia Fashion Collection, a cross-country initiative supported by partners including VANTAN INC. and PARCO CO., LTD.

SS16 SURROGATE
This collection is a product-driven exploration centred on hybridisation - combining familiar objects and garment archetypes to create new functions and forms. A corset becomes a waistcoat, a scarf merges with a blazer, and a sock evolves into a shoe.
Alongside these hybrids, the collection explores how construction can respond more intuitively to the body in motion: a long coat incorporates additional panels to accommodate a seated position, while sleeves are engineered around the arms naturally reaching forward.
Rather than beginning with an overarching narrative, the product itself became the concept - questioning familiar archetypes, how they are constructed, and how they might behave differently around the body.
