This timeless, capsule womenswear collection 'Nowhere' exhibits the oriental simplicity within sustainable ready to wear designs. Nothingness from Eastern Buddhism encourages us to let go of every desire and suffering. The void and emptiness are hence adapted into zero waste pattern cutting throughout the entire collection. The jigsaw nature of patterns allows the clothing to revert back to a complete piece of cloth after its life span. In addition, every material chosen is waste fabric that could be deadstock, end-of-roll, or donation, under the rule of low maintenance, referring to the ease of care and cleaning and reducing the need for ironing and washing. 'Nowhere' emphasizes the versatility and circularity of garments, they could blend into urban environments effortlessly, bringing the sense of peacefulness into our minds.
