I am a third-year fashion student at the Faculty of Arts and Design, Timișoara, passionate about exploring identity, self-expression, and individuality through design. I am deeply interested in translating personal stories and emotions into garments that challenge norms, celebrate authenticity, and reflect contemporary trends. I am excited to contribute to this year SusFuture international exhibition: Love Me As I Am, where fashion becomes a canvas for creativity, self-love, and meaningful cultural dialogue. 我目前就讀於 蒂米什瓦拉藝術與設計學院（Faculty of Arts and Design, Timișoara）時尚設計系三年級，熱衷於透過設計探索身份認同、自我表達與個體性。我特別關注如何將個人的故事與情感轉化為服裝語言，藉此挑戰既定規範、擁抱真實自我，並回應當代潮流。我很榮幸能參與今年 SusFuture 國際展覽《Love Me As I Am》，在此展中，時尚成為承載創意、自我接納與深層文化對話的畫布。 |
The outfit consists of a jacket and a pair of pants, and is a statement of acceptance, identity, and care for people and the planet, in line with SUSFUTURE’s “Love Me as I Am.” Both pieces are crafted from recovered materials: cords from factory leftovers and second-hand curtains are transformed and repurposed: the curtains are heat-burned for patchwork on the pants and butterfly-style sleeves, while the jacket is enriched by sewing threads unraveled from the cords. The rest of the materials are remnants from the faculty’s storage, carefully given new life. Through these sustainable techniques, fashion becomes more than self-expression: it is a shield, a voice, and a declaration of resistance. In a world quick to judge, these garments show that hiding is not weakness but necessity, and revealing oneself is an act of authenticity. The collection challenges societal norms, embraces diverse identities, and highlights environmental care. 本套造型由 一件外套與一條長褲 組成，是一項關於接納、身份認同，以及對人類與地球關懷的宣言，呼應 SUSFUTURE 所倡議的「Love Me As I Am」精神。兩件作品皆以回收再利用的材料製作：來自工廠剩餘的繩線與二手窗簾被重新轉化與賦予新生命——窗簾布經由熱燒處理，形成長褲上的拼接細節與蝴蝶造型袖片；外套則以從繩線中拆解出的縫線加以裝飾。其餘材料皆來自學院庫存中的邊角餘料，經過細心挑選與再創作，重新投入使用。 透過這些永續創作手法，時尚不再只是自我表達，而成為一種防護、一種聲音，以及一種抵抗的宣言。在一個習於快速評斷的世界裡，這些服裝指出：隱藏並非軟弱，而是一種必要；而選擇展現自我，則是一種真誠與勇氣的行動。本系列挑戰社會既定規範，擁抱多元身份，同時突顯對環境的關懷與責任。 |
