DESIGN NAME: The Transparent City

I inspired by concrete walls and window frame's sharp cuts so that I could express the masculine and minimal aesthetic. Through the transparent glass windows, buildings are combined into on geometric pattern, I would like to express those pattern in my collection.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The collection consists of 2 men's apparels and 1 women's apparel.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: When I lived in New York City, I had a inspiration about this transparent city, so I tried to made this garment in that time. To express three dimensional building's structure, I choose the leather, since I can express emboss detail with leather. Also, to express building's shadow, I choose the organza.
