Memento Mori

Blanc Collection

The collection explores vulnerability, internal struggle and transformation, highlighting the tension between suffering, separation and recovery through support. The first look symbolises raw exposure and fragility, with transparent pants, black-painted arms and bandaged eyes. The second look represents emotional fragmentation and connection through a twin image, a divided dress and Shibari-wrapped shoes. The third look depicts the journey from darkness to renewal, with growth emerging from decay and Shibari art symbolising healing.
