ELYSIUM
The collection was inspired from Friedrich Nietzsche’s tragedy world view, the Dionysian and the Apollonian spirit. I want to discuss the idea based on the book “The Birth of Tragedy” by Nietzsche, that the form of happiness that comes from fighting with the pain comes from ourselves. I would like to explore the balance between individual annihilation and the power of living and translate this abstract concept into fashion through deconstruction and reconstruction. Plus building a connection between tragedy and pleasure, and offering another interpretation of the meaning of death from my perspective. I aim to build up a collection that provides the audience a sense of solemn, the feeling of remoteness and evoke a dark and holy visual world, the happiness after detaching oneself above the reality
