Can the way we dress really influence social dynamics? This genderless collection is inspired by the aesthetics of Gothic art and horror, drawing inspiration from the imagery of Halloween, with its costumes representing a deviation from ordinary clothing.

If the act of dressing up has the power to transform one's perspective on the world, influencing how we interact with it, the goal of this project is to free ourselves from the limitations and self-imposed misconceptions with which we relate to others. This can happen through a reconsideration of the use of clothes.
The idea is that by making clothes excessively eccentric and grotesque, we can influence the way others interact with us. We therefore find garments with a dark, gloomy and pointed appearance, exaggerated by volumes and shapes. Although the appearance may initially suggest hostility, the intention is to take it to such an extreme level that it becomes ridiculous. The garments are modelled by exploring the three-dimensionality of space through shapes that alter the silhouette in an exaggerated and unconventional manner. The colour palette, predominantly monochrome and skewed towards black, seeks to shift the focus away from colour and towards form: it is through this that exaggeration is pursued.
