This collection reflected a distinct ideology, serving as an expression of intimacy and individuality. Its ultimate goal was firmly rooted in feminist principles, aiming to establish independence for the female body, free from the constraints of the male gaze and societal expectations, promoting self-agency and comfort in one’s own skin.

Rather than presenting nakedness as a means of provocation, it embraced it as a natural state, symbolizing liberation at the heart of creation. This approach to fashion sought to transcend its traditional role of clothing the body; instead, it engaged in a profound interaction between the garments and the women wearing them, with the intention of reshaping perceptions of nudity. This collection consciously disregarded notions of sexuality and shattered clichés associated with glamour. Instead, it delved into the realm of personal sensuality, exploring the intricate relationship between fabric and the human form.
