THE THIRD EYE

This is a six-look 2019 S/S menswear collection. Influenced by various negative emotions that we experience. From sadness and/or helplessness at the beginning, to depression and finally illness. Researchers in physiological and psychological disciplines explored the confrontation between people against negative sentiment. However, either in real cases or fictional, we noticed some remarkable people suffering from mental illnesses, such as the Nobel Prize winner John Nash, the famous scientist Albert Einstein, and Yayoi Kusama who created the fantasy world of dots. The artist has a wild guess that there is a connection between these two phenomena. Maybe the disease made them who they are, or they found their true selves in their misery. She believes every fragile soul has a more tenacious side than the average person, so calls it “the third eye". Based on this idea, this vulnerable group shall be guided to find their talents hidden within their anguish.

The collection shows the changing of people in different stages. The development of the pattern comes from the recording of modern dance, in which the dancer searches for herself in a lost situation. Materials and techniques revolve around beads which are changeable through water. According to its characteristics of softness and expandability, it can be applied to textiles by combining waterproof materials with permeable fabrics.
