The form of “marriage” extends beyond the feelings of the individuals involved, heavily dependent on contemporary trends and social circumstances. I believed that the wedding dress, a symbol of “marriage,” should be reinterpreted alongside the changing times.
Using wool, a terrestrial resource material, I chose gray—a color formed by the accumulation of various hues. Gray has neither pause nor end. This equilibrium suggests the principle of equality in society.
The jacket features a pattern that emphasizes the shoulder blades to express flexibility, and by adopting a miniskirt and bodysuit that allow ease of movement and wide leg positioning, I created a new concept of dress.
With the hope that the world becomes more flexible and livable regardless of whether one is a minority or majority, I expressed new values and diverse forms of love.

School is a place where students learn the epitome of society and at the same time acquire an identity.
School uniforms that I create are a weapon of “individuality” and they are “justice” because they do not flatter gender or body type.
Using the motif of coneflower, which means “fairness,” “justice,” and “looking at you” in the language of flowers, we designed uniforms that clothe students in their own individuality. Zippers can be worn as pants or as a skirt, and the skirt can be worn as a skirt or as a trouser, and gathers to accommodate any body shape..
The pure white school uniform itself becomes a symbol of individuality with the age-old stains of school days.
The recycled nylon can be used as a bag or a scarf, adding strength and sublimation of individuality to the functions necessary for a student.
