This collection began with women's pockets ---- an invisible gender discrimination. The pocket also leads to discussions about women's privacy and the relationship with the bag. ‘The exposure of the inner space’ can be considered as the general interpretation of the concept. I tried to create the feeling of a soft body wrapped in a hard shell, which corresponds to my idea of the perfect woman. The internal structure is visualised by ‘exposing privacy’, so that both states can be presented simultaneously and the overall concept can be linked. Therefore, this collection mainly consists of coats, jackets and skirt trousers based on the three-dimensional structure of the bag, together with bodysuits that skim the curves. The colourful lace print is inspired by the idea of 'peeping', which corresponds to the idea of revealing privacy. The pairing of the two contrasting colour palettes creates a strong sense of drama and visual effect, and meets my expectations of a double-sided unity.
