The floor-length coat styled with a white vest underneath provides a crisp contrast and a sense of freshness.

A balanced combination of tuxedo-inspired silhouettes and modern minimalist lines

This subtle detail enhances the overall visual appeal and uniqueness of the garment.

The back of the coat is slightly raised to create a cocoon-shaped silhouette.

This adds a symbolic layer to the design, suggesting a play of light and darkness within the garment itself.

White represents light, and black splicing represents shadow.

Incorporating different textures and colors further enriches the design.

White extending from front to back implies a continuous source of light and fluidity throughout.

As a designer, I was determined to create genderless clothing, taking the tuxedo as my canvas for exploration. I use the sloping lines and asymmetrical silhouettes of buildings to inject a contemporary perspective into traditional clothing. The sharp cut of a traditional tuxedo exudes strength, while the draped fabric introduces an element of elegance. I create a balance between strength and tenderness through the clash of contrasting elements, expressing duality and harmony.
