Inner Hatch

Chaewon Lee

The concept 'Inner Hatch' explores the transformative process of inner growth and self-discovery, recognising uncertainty, imperfection, and immaturity as critical phases in the evolution of identity. By framing these states as essential to personal growth, the design captures the poetic tension between fragility and strength, incompleteness and potential.
These fleeting moments are reimagined as a dialogue between vulnerability and resilience, where their interplay shapes the aesthetic direction. The concept embodies transformation as both a creative and personal journey. Drawing on the metaphor of "hatching," the collection unravels layers of fluid emotions, materialising them through artisanal craftsmanship. Draping techniques create deconstructed silhouettes, while dark tones and marbling effects articulate the nature of inner conflict and change. Each piece captures the essence of growth—an intricate balance of vulnerability and resilience, shadow and light.
Through this collection, the journey toward self-actualisation experienced, offering a glimpse into the layered beauty of becoming. It invites wearers to embrace transformation itself, embodying the delicate balance between aesthetics and philosophy.
