Bangkok University

My leather bag project for this competition is called “Macabre Obsession”, which is inspired by my personal intensive obsession about Visual kei bands & their themes about horror/grotesque things. The fans of those bands are generally called bangya. They have unique (mostly) black trunks, which they customized/diy it with pictures of their favorite Visual kei bands or artists. Bangya trunk been popularized among fans who are students since the 90s. I want this project to show my devotion & determination as Bangya myself and as a designer.
