Stress permeates the air and mixes into our lives, work, family, emotions, bullying are like countless fine needles pricking us. Less tolerable, more deadly. The endure between the two is endlessly long. The use of dark colors mainly creates a heavy visual feeling that is difficult to take steps. The red string serves as an accent to symbolize bondage. The heel is made into a needle shape to allow the wearer to more accurately experience the subject material. The font "HELP ME" at the bottom falls in the forehand position, reflecting that the only comfortable area of the whole work touches the ground but is stepped on the sole, indicating the sense of despair that there are words but cannot be spoken.

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.
