CONFIDENCE

Menswear collection Confidence conceptually seeks to break gender stereotypes, based on the designer’s experience growing up in an Asian culture where patriarchy is dominant. In her culture, society considered men to be masculine while women have to be feminine, in their roles, careers, clothes or traits. Bringing the softness and the vibrant vibe of womenswear’s characteristics into a menswear collection dismantles the gender stereotype.
