of experimental materials in its collections.

The strange moments in my childhood

THE COLLECTION THEME IS “THE STRANGE MOMENTS IN MY CHILDHOOD.” WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MY FAMILY MOVED TO COUNTRYSIDE. THE VILLAGE IS KNOWN FOR BIRD WATCHING PLACE. THOUGH, IT WAS MAGNIFICENT TO SEE THE MIGRATORY BIRDS FLOCKING THROUGH THE SUNSET SEEN ON THE WINDOWS OF THE APARTMENT LIVING ROOM AS A CHILD. AT THAT TIME, THE MASS MORTALITY OF MIGRATORY BIRDS CAUSED BY POISONS SCARED AND HORRIFIED ME IN THE APPEARANCE OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S FILM “THE BIRDS.” I EXPRESSED MY CONFLICTING FEELINGS POETICALLY THROUGH VARIOUS ELEMENTS. THIS COLLECTION ADDS LYRICAL COLORS AND 18TH CENTURY MENSWEAR DETAILS TO WOMENSWEAR. THE ORIGIN OF THE TIE, CRAVAT AND THE DETAILS OF THE MEN’S JACKET ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS MAD WITH LUXURY FABRIC SUCH AS DUCHESS SATIN, SILK TAFFETA, AND OMBRE ORGANZA. THERE ARE MORE COUTURE DETAILS FROM DRAPING AND SILVER GRASS EMBELLISHMENTS.
