Social Impact Through Collaboration
'RESIST & EXIST' is conceptually based around dress practice within North Korea. It is an enquiry into an isolated society that has not experienced modernity in the Western sense, and still relies heavily on propagandic representations of hyper-masculinity, militarism and uniform. It’s quite an unconventional idea, but the mundane imagery of everyday North Koreans and formalism of their dress culture is a source of inspiration for this collection.
