Worn Inside (Honors)

'Worn Inside' explores Japan's overwork culture, using reversible garments to embody the contrast between outward professionalism and inner strain. Each garment combines workwear silhouettes & construction with business-wear details & fabrics, with hidden distressing inside to symbolise the unseen toll of relentless labor. This collection speaks to the quiet suffering beneath polished exteriors, urging reflection on the cost of overwork and sparking a conversation about the need for work-life balance.
