Imperfect Beauty

Category: Apparel

Competitions: Vietnam

This project explores the beauty of imperfection through a Kintsugi-inspired garment, where fragmented cow leather pieces are reconnected with gold-toned elements. By combining natural materials such as leather, silk, and cotton, the design emphasizes durability, material reuse, and sustainability. The integration of movement and subtle sound through metal details adds a sensory dimension, transforming the garment into both a visual and experiential piece.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
