The unique essence and the production process have ethical considerations and sustainable fashion development.

The method of classifying materials is combined with scale, thickness, and season to develop, mix with the new materials to make a design experiment of slow fashion and limited supply. Specifically, the collected antique fabric is used as a clue to develop the design system. How fashion can continue to be sustainable while taking into account creation, and a balanced combination of creating less waste and durability. It is a sustainable and contemporary fashion practice.
Fa'aosofia: The design is inspired by exploring the depths of blue.
Indigo textile culture with a long history, blue is the ocean, the universe, and the central mind. Natural reincarnation is the exploration of Zen, and it is also a sustainable fashion practice in the present. From a point of view that old and new, gain and loss, useless and useful, trend and eternity are infusing. This project explores and balances the possibilities of design.
