PANDORA’S DECEPTION This project, titled PANDORA’S DECEPTION, explores the concept of power being misused by those in higher positions. The main inspiration is drawn from Greek mythology, conveyed through Hellenistic Greek sculpture, often reflecting themes of curses, confinement, and violence rooted in authority. The key focus of this collection is the development of embossing techniques on vegetable-tanned leather. These patterns are used not only for visual impact but also to express the core narrative of the collection. It also represents an effort to enhance the value of leather scraps left over from the cowhide industry through fashion design and craftsmanship. The garments are created with both creativity and technical interest in mind, yet remain wearable in everyday life. Sustainability plays an essential role in this project, emphasizing mindful material use and the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
