"Form & Fragment"
Calvin Klein - Japan Exclusive Capsule Collection
A collection of five print designs created for Calvin Klein Men's Underwear, inspired by iconic Japanese elements reimagined through abstract geometry and tonal minimalism. From falling sakura to Mt.

"Reframing Elevated Streetwear"
A Menswear Market Study for Spring/Summer 2025
This independent study explores how five global brands— Zara, Manière De Voir, Maison Kitsuné, AMI Paris, and Kenzo —reinterpret elevated streetwear across various price points.

"Urban Duality"
Manière De Voir - A/W25 Menswear Capsule Collection
Inspired by a design challenge from the elevated streetwear brand Manière De Voir, this capsule explores contrasts at the core of modern menswear— utility vs. elegance, mass vs. niche, softness vs. structure. Developed in response to a creative brief, the project reimagines MDV’s bold aesthetic through six directional looks grounded in moody Fall/Winter tones and refined texture play.
"Graphic Balance"
Manière De Voir - Checker Print Development & Graphic Tee Design
This self-initiated project reimagines Manière De Voir’s graphic identity through a custom checker print and elevated streetwear graphic tee design. Focused on structure, contrast, and logo application, the concept channels MDV’s bold visual language into a minimal yet impactful statement.
"PUMA x Manière De Voir"
Collaboration Project: Motion & Structure
A self-initiated capsule concept merging Manière De Voir’s structured streetwear aesthetic with PUMA’s athletic heritage.

"Street Heritage"
Sketches & Graphic Concepts Inspired by COACH Runway S25
This self-initiated concept project draws from the playful nostalgia and oversized ease of COACH Spring 2025.

A visual translation of runway attitude into graphic-driven, wearable storytelling.

Seasonal Menswear & Womenswear Capsules Inspired by Global Destinations
This series features a range of capsule collections developed between 2019 and 2020, each inspired by a distinct destination—from the icy terrain of Alaska to the relaxed tropics of the Maldives. Across menswear and womenswear, each project reflects an early exploration of color, mood, and lifestyle narratives. Through varied silhouettes, fabric choices, and concept-driven palettes, these collections express a curiosity for storytelling through apparel design.
