The Distortion Of
AW24-SS25
“The Distortion Of” explores how obsession reshapes perception, turning fluid identities into rigid symbols and love into possession. Drawing from cinema, literature, and personal poetry, the collection reimagines classic tailoring through surreal distortions. Melting blazers, stretched pinstripes, and fragile fastenings reflect the emotional instability of fixation. A recurring oversized hair clip symbolizes control, preservation and repression. Inspired by films like "A Woman Under The Influence” and writings by Freud and J. D. Salinger, the collection mirrors obsessions destructive nature and its role in confronting trauma. Each garment becomes an artifact of distorted love, capturing something beautiful, constrained, and quietly unraveling.
