Second Skin

Purpose statement
Second Skin investigates the relationship between insect anatomy, bodily protection and unconventional beauty through the intersection of alternative fashion and avant-garde sculptural techniques. Drawing from the adaptive forms and visual characteristics of insects, the collection translates organic structures into contemporary garments that challenge conventional perceptions of beauty and the body. Clothing becomes an extension of the wearer, functioning as a second skin that simultaneously conceals, protects and transforms.
