Synesthesia
In 2016, I was challenged to express my personal identity through a two-piece collection. My perception of numbers in color, the notion of the letter 'F' as pretentious, or associating baby blue with a salty taste, all seemed ordinary until I discovered the concept of 'Synesthesia.'
I realized that what I considered to be universally shared experiences were, in fact, personal neurological phenomena. It was this revelation that became the inspiration for my collection. I aimed to vividly portray my passion for color and my synesthesia, choosing to draw inspiration from what I consider to be one of the most vibrant and enjoyable fashion eras. It was none other than the era epitomized by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air : The 90s.
