POLYMORPHISM
POLYMORPHISM is Collection 1.0, and it represents a shift in change, a new perspective on how the future of fashion is perceived.
Transformative pieces are created to value-add with functionality in mind. They are made to be seamlessly incorporated into everyday lives, with garments catered to multiple needs, prolonging the life and usage of each individual piece.
Brutalism is the aesthetic approach chosen as it shares some underlying principles with the concept of POLYMORPHISM. One defining feature from both is ergonomic functionalism – how the product interacts and behaves with the human body and the wearability aspect of the garments.
