Modern hermits

‘MODERN HERMITS’ GREW OUT OF QUESTIONING THE SOCIAL PERCEPTION OF UNIFORMITY.
PEOPLE’S EXCESSIVE PURSUIT OF SOCIAL NORMALITY LEADS TO LACK OF SELF-EXPRESSION, AS WELL AS THEIR ACTUAL HOBBIES, DESIRES, OR HABITUAL WAYS OF DRESSING. BY BLURRING THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN HOME AND WORK, WEARERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO RESIST THE PRESSURE FOR UNIFORMIZATION, PURSUING A COMFORTABLE AND INTIMATE DRESSING EXPERIENCE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DESIGN A NEW WAY OF LIVING THAT COULD FIT INTO THE POST-PANDEMIC ‘NEW WORLD ORDER’. THE IDEA OF ‘NEW SUIT’ SUBVERTS THE TRADITIONAL TAILORING AND REDEFINES THE OFFICE DRESS CODE.
A BODY OF WORK WAS CREATED AS AN ARTISTIC RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC. THIS COLLECTION IS A SIGN OF THIS TIME WHILE TRYING TO BUILD THE NEW CATEGORY IS BORN FROM NOW.
