“The White Project”

This collection tells the story of a brain still in progress.

We don’t have it all figured out. The brain is still developing, reshaping, and rewiring. This collection captures the raw, unfinished beauty of becoming, where impulse and reason collide.

Process

Seven fashion sketches of women in various contemporary outfits, featuring oversized coats, dresses, and sweaters, with some accessorized with wide-brimmed hats, all wearing high boots.

Through soft, oversized, and bubbly shapes inspired by brain scans and neural forms. Each piece reflects the constant evolution of self.
