M:ANISFESTO

People are not as honest nowadays as they were before. Social media only portrays the positive sides and their anger, grief, and even vengeance are often not shown through social media. In Korean, a feeling in between sorrow and anger is called “Han”.  I believe that everyone has “Han” inside hidden themselves afraid to show to others. Fashion was always a language to me that is more direct and evident than verbal language. The clothes one wear represents the mood of them, and clothing could be the most direct way of speaking their mood without the distraction of speaking a single word.

Through Collecion “H:AN (한)”, people could show their inner Han by wearing the garments that are portrayed of their hidden emotions. In my collection “H:AN (한)”, I would like to encourage people to be more honest about their emotions with the help of a different glance of fashion. By emphaszing the importance of emotional honesty, I am hoping to see a world where people would not be shamful of their scars but to stylize it and overcome the difficulties.
