DON QUIXOTE
Category: Accessories
Competitions: Taiwan Region
The core design concept is based on the book "Don Quixote", where the protagonist's foolish yet pure pursuit of justice guides his life. I project the author's essence onto myself, embodying the purity, passion, and folly in my design. In the mood board, there are rock singers, shiny metallic stars, knight armor, and armor structural details. Rock singers represent modern knights to me; they convey their justice through song and melody, akin to knights wielding their swords. They pursue their dreams with steadfast action, advocating for freedom and speaking out against injustices in society. In the bag design, elements of medieval knight armor reinterpret the black leather associated with rock singers. It symbolizes the spirit of justice passed on by modern rock singers, even as knights have disappeared from the world. The bag, adorned in the symbolically unjust black, contrasts with the luminous spirit of justice embodied by rock singers. Its design, resembling a knight's helmet, serves as both a handbag and a shoulder bag, with the detail of quick closure mimicking the urgency of knights in battle, allowing for swift departure to the next destination.
