My graduation project is centered around the concept of “Darkerocore,” exploring the visual and cultural possibilities of dark core aesthetics. Through elements such as Gothic style, Baroque court silhouettes, and early European aristocratic menswear, I studied the visual tension and cultural collision within fashion design. By using handmade lace, dark jacquard, and other fabrics, I expressed class contrasts within the historical context. Inspired by the style of designer Ann Demeulemeester, I conducted design development and 3D cutting experiments, ultimately completing a cohesive and visually impactful collection.
