I started my concept from my childhood happy memories. When I was a child, I like to play with dolls, because I have spent lots of time alone, because of my parent were busy. The dolls were like friends or my sibling. I was always with the doll wherever I went. And sometimes I went to my favourite amusement park with my mother on holidays to have a happy time together. I especially liked amusement parks because when I went there, my favourite dolls danced and played with me like a fantasy world. I want to express this atmosphere beautifully in this collection. My research has explored various processes that can aestheticize the happy emotions I felt when I was young. I am enjoying and developing printing techniques and innovative use of laser cutting to express the overwhelming excitement I felt at amusement parks and the dream-like fantasy I felt there in my clothes. I am trying to achieve amazing fabric and laser cutting techniques to stimulate the nostalgia of childhood innocence that everyone must have felt in amusement parks through my collection. I'm designing my collection responsibly by using materials that can be expressed as aesthetically as possible, focusing on good quality and ethical ways through a lot of research. The fabric and materials used in my collection are selected and supplied by a supplier who is ethically responsible.
