CONCEPT
Synthesis explores the tension and harmony between masculine structure and feminine fluidity celebrating matriarchal strength in contemporary fashion. The collection fuses deconstructed tailoring with strong silhouettes and pleated detailing to reflect the duality of resilience and sensuality. Working predominently with black denim, the garments are constructed through pleats,
pin tucks and precise paneling. Red topstitching runs throughout the collection as a visual thread emphasizing power and angular shping bringing an architectural presence to each look. Each piece is designed to evoke confidence, equality and modern rebellion. Synthesis redefines femininity as both resilient and expressive exploring identity and human form that blends tradition with subversion
