My collection challenges beauty standards by embracing variety. The desire for perfection drives businesses to change clothing sizes, exacerbating body anxiety among customers. I think beauty transcends size, shape, and age, and celebrates individuality. The exaggerated contrast in design and yarns ironically magnifies the exaggerated change in the standard size. Additionally, color-changing garments serve as a visual representation of individual diversity.
