This collection is inspired by my personal journey of overcoming hardship with the support of family, friends, and community. At its heart is a realization that resilience is not built alone, but together: “If someone holds your hand and jumps with you, it is not falling—it is soaring.”

Influenced by the artwork of Moonassi, the designs express human connection through silhouettes where forms gently merge into one another, symbolizing the invisible but powerful bonds between people.

The wing-shaped cape with feather-like textures, alongside flowing cable stitches, represents both freedom and vulnerability—two intertwined aspects of emotional growth. Each shade within the feather motif reflects a form of care: compassion, empathy, and understanding.

This look is not only a garment but also a quiet reminder that strength often comes from collective care. Even in fragile moments, we can rise—not alone, but together.
