I

Front, full-length view of model. She is standing and wears a sheer, white, gathered top that covers her upper arm and shoulder. She has a royal blue box top layered over it. She also wears white pleated knee-length shorts that resemble a skirt.

Gathered base. Loosely tailored box top. Hand-pleated shorts.

A three-quarter torso view of a model focuses on her garments' details: the intricate gathering and draping of the sheer white top; the rows and rows of precision pleats on the white shorts.

In white, sans the box top, this piece blends adult complexity with inner innocence.

Pleated maxi dress with gathered bust and waist wrinkle, paired with a royal-blue, box, apron skirt

Precise pleats. Strategic seam detailing. A pop of beautiful blue.

Model stands facing forward in a white sleeveless pleated maxi dress. Gathering at the bust and strategic seams at the waist enhance its silhouette. The skirt of the dress billows in the wind, like an opening umbrella, giving the look an ethereal vibe.

A pleated dress with gathered bust and waist wrinkles blends maturity with childlike charm.

Side view of a standing model. She wears a long tan trench coat with with open sides. Underneath the trench she wears a white pleated maxi dress with a royal blue box apron skirt.

This look symbolizes my struggle to conceal my inner child beneath adult expectations.

The collection I embodies four years of introspection and navigating the complexity of my identity as an adult. The resonance between the pronunciation of the English letter I and the Korean term for child underscores this duality, reflecting the tension between maturity and the longing for recognition of my inner child.
