RE:PARTUS
In search of the dialogue between body, artifacts, and spirit, the collection studies and challenges the boundary between multiple design mediums.
“RE:PARTUS”, stands for “Rebirth” and “Self-Metamorphisis”, is the conceptual scaffold of this line that is constituited of 8 looks. Inspired by the psychological horror film Black Swan directed by Darren Aronofsky, the line aligns with the film’s surreal montage of Swan Lake and reinterprets it through the length of wearable sculpture as a tangible medium. With the ambition to translate the process of White Swan’s kinship to self-destruction and its rebirth as Black Swan, the design translates the movies’s plot and extracts its motif. The montage of various elements was expressed through the formal mutation which varies from mild silhouettes to dramatically untamed figurations.
