"Apostles." This collection is an exploration of innovative tailoring and the deconstruction of traditional structures, with extensive investigation of various fabrics. This collection initially began with the concept of desire, subsequently exploring the complex relationship between desire and technology. The development of technology is an expression of human desires, ultimately surpassing their original intentions, creating new desires, and remaining consistently linked to military violence. The initial fabrics used included Kevlar and carbon fibre, evolving to unconventional CAD embroidery techniques made with metal threads and epoxy resin coatings. The patterns on the fabrics transition from straightforward imagery to more philosophical explorations. With creativity rooted in deconstructing military themes and modern architecture, expressed through repetitive sharp pleats, asymmetric arrangements, complex layering, and continuous patterns. This thematic exploration culminates in two final outfits that reflect a return to and introspection on humanity. These designs are intricately linked to the theme, with a primary focus on menswear and unconventional logic.
