"1968" is a deeply personal collection that emerged from the tragic loss of my father in a plane crash. It's a blend of leather and denim, drawing silhouette inspiration from the aeroplane wings, emblematic of the tragic flight. The grunge style reflects the harsh reality of life post-loss, with spray paint and distressed denim serving as my means of expression. The spray painted '68' symbolizes the year of my father's birth, painted into every piece as a tribute. Ultimately, "1968" is not just clothing; it's a visual story, and one that involves my whole family: from a poem my sister wrote printed on the inside of a coat, to handknitted labels made by my grandmother. This collection is an invitation for others to share their experiences and open up the conversation about grief. Each stitch and spray-painted stroke keeps my father's memory alive, showcasing the enduring power of love beyond loss.
