Fashion is not about clothes but also self-expression, and identity. In World 108, hope that fashion has value in each garment to help those in need by exploring scents through the use of yarn and wet-felting technique. Zen garden and ‘ma’ are ideas to fill the emptiness, develop a sense of well-being, and evoke feelings of peace. It is reflected in the application of pleats and creating unfinished hand embroideries for the wearer to finish the garment with their own creativity.
