The structural design of this garment integrates a traditional men's shirt into a feminine dress, creating a versatile piece through the use of three dimensional cutting techniques. This approach enhances the garment's functionality by offering multiple styling options within a single piece, supporting the one garment with multiple styles concept. The fusion of functional and aesthetic qualities within the design allows for greater flexibility, providing women with a wider range of styling possibilities while maintaining a cohesive and practical form.
As a designer, I'm particularly interested in how design can truly serve people and enhance everyday experiences. Whether it's optimizing functionality or expressing emotion through subtle details, I aim to create designs that feel warm and thoughtful. I enjoy observing the small, often overlooked problems in daily life and exploring creative ways to solve them. I'm also fascinated by materials, form language, and sustainable design, and I love finding the balance between technology and aesthetics. To me, design is not just a tool for problem-solving—it's a way to communicate ideas and connect with the world.
