INDUSTRY COLLABORATIONS
Congratulations to Ohashi Rira, finalist, KL Fashion Week 2022 – KL 10 Designer Search. Her entry, “Survivor” is based on a dystopian theme, a story about the contradiction between the advantages and disadvantages of technological evolution. Evolution elements can be seen in the evolution of silhouette and fabric manipulation techniques. The post-apocalyptic element is from the character in the post-apocalyptic teen fiction and the color palette is influenced by punk, steampunk, grunge, gothic, and military styles.
