I FORGOT HOW TO FIT INTO MY OWN SHOES
Welcome, to a world of blissful ignorance, laced through the influence of suburbia on the aging youth. “I forgot how to fit into my own shoes,” focuses on creating a place for the unwanted to be admired again, a reflective connection touching on naïve nostalgia that comes from unwanted garments. Pinpointing the textile influence of the collection around sustainability.
Through fashion, exploring the emotive visual of trying to wear shoes you admired as a child, the desire of wanting to be connected to the emotions of your youth when time is slipping away through hybrid curated garments.
