ZENKIMI

This collection originates from a reflection on time and inheritance. Two years after entering the working world, I revisited a family photo album that spans more than forty years, re-examining the evolution of style across several generations in my family—from my grandparents'era, to my mother's youth, and finally to my own childhood. Our clothing not only reflects the aesthetics of different periods, but also carries traces of our family's everyday life and emotional atmosphere.

Growing up in this environment, I was shaped by the subtle routines of family life and surrounded by a sense of steady and gentle love. At the same time, I began to question whether in a constantly changing era, we must remain confined by established aesthetics and social expectations, or whether we can choose to express our authentic selves more freely.

Through this collection, I hope to create a tender yet resolute moment of preservation for the memories of my childhood and the youth of the women in my family. At the same time, it attempts to loosen the labels that each era tends to place upon us. Time continues to move forward, and individuals should not be confined by a single definition. I hope that within the flow of time, we can retain our sense of self and continue the process of becoming who we truly are.
