I focus on impracticality in todays fashion world with the contradiction;

practical versus impractical, reflecting on our

“dress to impress” society

where people often prioritise appearance over practicality, resulting in a disconnection from the original purpose of garments.
 

I draw inspiration from the military uniforms of the Hussars from early modern Hungary. They were known for their colourful and richly designed uniforms, however, these only displayed wealth and position, and were highly impractical. In my project, I created looks derived from archetypical garments that are traditionally practical, and made them impractical by rethinking their functional elements. I want to create a sense of curiosity by aiming to push the boundaries of archetypical garments, embracing a sense of playfulness, blending the recognisable with the unexpected, creating a collection that serves as a statement on the choices we make as consumers."
