This project is inspired by my family background and my personal experience of growing up under traditional expectations. Since childhood, my parents often made decisions for me — even the clothes I wore. They believed that girls should look “feminine” and wear skirts, while I preferred oversized jackets that made me feel free and comfortable. This became the starting point for questioning what “girls’ clothing” truly means.
I chose to reinterpret the Chinese tunic suit (Zhongshan suit) — a symbol of formality and uniformity — and combined it with lace, a fabric often associated with softness and femininity. By merging these two materials, I wanted to express the tension between constraint and freedom, and to show how identity can exist between social definitions. Chains were added as both decoration and metaphor, representing invisible restrictions that can still be reimagined through design.
The final garments are reversible and multifunctional, allowing the wearer to shift between different styles and moods. This transformation symbolizes how individuals, especially women, can move beyond imposed boundaries while carrying fragments of tradition with them. Through this project, I explore how clothing can question cultural norms and become a personal statement of independence, comfort, and self-definition.
