Phantoming

Category: Apparel

Competitions: Fashion Competition 2026

The collection was inspired by the 1987 Hong Kong movie <>(倩女幽魂). It is a love story about human falls in love with a ghost. It reminds me of people's attitudes towards taboos, like ghost is a horrible thing, we should do some rites to avoid bad luck. People always refuse things that they are not familiar with, no matter go or bad. Even in human society, the minorities often be excluded/discriminated in the society. Walking in the woods, I feel like I am drifting outside the crowd, never belonging to any group, like a Phantom.
