PCES’ Chapter 04 draws inspiration from the Asian cultural association between the number four and death, exploring various facets and implications of death.

Is death an end or a new beginning, or perhaps life has no starting or ending point? Are life and death antonyms, or are theynot opposites?

The concept extends from the infinite cycle and possibilities of death and rebirth to the close relationship between the old and the new. New things are born from the old, and the old provides a foundation and inspiration for new creations. Traditional elements are integrated into modern designs, combining classic garment silhouettes with innovative techniques. Utilizing the same patterns to create both distressed and futuristic styles and presenting traditional details, the old and the new concepts are extended into the garments.

This collection is a profound exploration of the duality of things, where seemingly opposite elements can share the same fundamental basis. It is a reflection on the relationship between death and rebirth, the old and the new, inviting you to ponder on the complex interplay of these seemingly contrasting forces.

After all, death is not the opposite of life,
but a part of it. Thus, eventually,
we’re all going to die :)
