Adorning ourselves with flaws.

We’re often taught to “be perfect”—to be quiet, neat, and follow the rules. But in this collection, we take the opposite approach. We believe that some “flaws” are actually beautiful.

Adorned in Flaws is inspired by my childhood—when I was diagnosed with ADHD. At the time, I struggled to focus, my thoughts jumped constantly, my emotions were intense, and my mind didn’t follow conventional patterns. As I grew older, I began to reinterpret that experience—perhaps the chaos was actually the source of my creativity.

That’s why this collection features a lot of irregular design elements: layered structures that seem to leap, asymmetrical cuts, clashing colors. These aren’t “mistakes”—they are another kind of rhythm, a reflection of my inner world.

At the same time, I was deeply inspired by the Rococo era—not just the grand gowns, but the overlooked details of that period: silver cutlery, ornate mirrors, and the decorative edges of porcelain. These small objects held exquisite beauty, often unnoticed. So I brought those forgotten elements into the clothing—pleats at the collar, metallic trims, fabric carvings—reminding us that sometimes, the smallest details hold the most emotion.
