This collection, titled "Architectural Restructuring: Fluid Leather Deconstruction," draws its primary inspiration from the "Breath of Lines". By viewing lines as trajectories of flowing vitality rather than static boundaries, the design reinterprets the relationship between the human form and its second skin. The core of the project lies in the modular logic of "multi-wearability". By utilizing industrial metal zippers as both visual axes and functional connectors, the garments are transformed into detachable components that allow for continuous reorganization of the silhouette. This approach embodies the spirit of sustainable slow fashion, extending the garment's lifecycle through versatility. The visual narrative is defined by a stark juxtaposition of textures, featuring premium leathers such as Crafera, Liquid Metal Gator, and Wrinkle FG from Shan Been Jeou Industrial. Classical corset lace-up structures are integrated into these avant-garde, tech-inspired pieces to enhance structural precision and create a futuristic yet refined aesthetic.

This design is inspired by the traditional Malaysian kite "Wau Bulan", which perfectly combines its graceful curves with the symbolism of the moon, which symbolizes freedom and hope. The outline of the bag echoes the smooth structure of the kite, implying movement and balance. The center of the bag is embellished with Malaysia's national flower, the hibiscus flower, which symbolizes tenacity and vitality, surrounded by vines and leaves, symbolizing the rhythm of nature and our connection with the earth, and emphasizing the theme of "above the clouds" - freeing the mind and embracing nature. This work combines traditional cultural elements with modern aesthetics and functional design, conveying the concept of sustainable and harmonious coexistence between humans and the environment. 本作品「在雲之上」以馬來西亞傳統風箏「Wau Bulan」為設計核心，融合風箏優雅的弧線與月亮的意象，象徵自由與希望。包款整體輪廓呼應風箏的結構曲線，展現流動與平衡之美。正面裝飾馬來西亞國花木槿花，象徵堅韌與生命力，周圍藤蔓與葉片象徵自然律動與土地的連結。月亮則靜靜地融合於整體輪廓，強化主題，帶出放飛思緒與回歸自然的理念。本設計結合文化圖騰與現代簡約，並具備實用功能，傳達永續共生的設計理念。
