This collection is based on the philosophy of the year of the rabbit, which in Chinese tradition signifies vitality, rebirth and peace. Inspired by the enchanting tale of the rabbit, this collection will read as a love letter to youth, while confronting the harsh realities of coming of age in the modern world. By beginning with the theme of ‘Change”, my research led me to develop a kind of social commentary, examining issues that face my generation: such as climate change, humanitarian crises and mental health. As a symbol of vitality and rebirth, the motif of the rabbit serves as a metaphor for my worldview as a young designer on the threshold of an uncertain future, afraid yet cautiously hopeful. This collection is about celebrating youth, confronting fears and sharing refuge from the anxieties of modern existence.
