The collection offers an emotional interpretation of fashion, exploring the repression of feelings and the desire to escape an unstable routine. Through elements such as bound arms and covered faces, it symbolises the self-imposed prison of hiding emotions. It represents the “emotional hole”, the baggage we all accumulate and which affects our relationships. The collection reflects the tension between repression and emotional liberation, celebrating the process of growth by facing discomfort. The name, ‘Vortex Animi,’ refers to the internal whirlwind of emotions that shapes our transformation.
