Collection Name:   INSOMNIA

Intro: Insomnia has profoundly shaped my creative journey, inspiring this project to transform its emotional impact into fashion that provides security and healing. By designing garments with enveloping qualities, I aim to create a cocoon-like experience that offers psychological comfort. Carefully chosen silhouettes, materials, and textures evoke warmth, softness, and protection, counteracting the restlessness of sleeplessness.

Wearing these pieces becomes an intimate ritual, addressing the subconscious need for safety and emotional support. Beyond personal reflection, this project explores how clothing can influence mental well-being and raise awareness about sleep disorders.

Clothes prioritize sustainability through one-piece 3D structures that minimize fabric waste, using responsible techniques to support the environment.
