This haute couture womenswear collection breaks the stereotypical rigid impression of leather by exploring soft-tanned cowhide’s drape plasticity. The whole series takes the flowing layered fins of pink betta fish as the core morphological inspiration, translating the delicate undulating texture of fish fins into oversized 3D ruffles and sculptural bow structures on garments. Through optimized tanning formulas and post-softening treatment, the cowhide gains fabric-like softness while retaining its unique industrial texture, forming a striking contrast between tough leather and romantic fluid silhouettes. Blush pink dyeing balances the inherent hardness of leather, delivering a visual aesthetic of "toughness wrapped in softness". The design integrates leather craft with couture language, breaking the boundary that leather is only applied to workwear and leather goods. It explores the diversified possibility of softened leather in feminine high fashion, reconstructing the expressive power of genuine leather through biomorphic pleats and dimensional structures. 本高定女装系列打破皮革坚硬刻板的固有印象，探索柔鞣牛皮的垂坠可塑性。系列以粉色斗鱼层叠飘逸的鱼鳍为核心造型灵感，将鱼鳍起伏柔和的肌理转化为服装上大尺寸立体褶皱与雕塑感蝴蝶结结构。 通过改良鞣制配方与后期软化工艺，牛皮获得织物般柔软垂感，同时保留独有的工业肌理，形成硬质皮革与浪漫流动廓形的强烈对冲。裸粉色染色中和皮革冷硬特质，呈现“刚骨柔形”的视觉美学。 设计将皮革工艺与高定礼服语言融合，打破皮革仅用于工装、皮具的边界，探索柔化真皮在女性高级时装中的多元表达，以仿生褶皱、立体结构重构真皮材质表现力。
