<h2 style="text-align: center">✨️"Do you know what visions fill my mind when I think of the future?"✨️</h2> Something more beautiful and functional, with a glance at the past...I always reflect on this: not everything new is necessarily right or innovative, and not everything old is outdated or merely traditional. We should strive to make the right choices at the right time — learn from the good things of the past, build the present, and design for the future.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/c029325f02314052beac650c24d2ee99/images/295dda9d9e52421aa78b971b50a2e2f8YouCut_20250524_175129821-ezgif.com-video-to-webp-converter-1.webp" alt="295dda9d9e52421aa78b971b50a2e2f8" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="295dda9d9e52421aa78b971b50a2e2f8" data-width="800" data-height="1083">The gif. file is made by krea.ai<hr><h3>🌿 “TOKYO CONTINUUM” – A Dialogue Between Heritage and Rebirth</h3>This look was created as part of the Marvelous Designer Creator’s Contest 2025 Vol.2, under the theme Tokyo Continuum.

The layered sheer dress and crossed straps reinterpret these historical elements with modern comfort and fluidity. The red accents pay homage to Japan’s symbolic color of vitality and spiritual strength.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/c029325f02314052beac650c24d2ee99/images/0df2a458d3af4d96a164249f28de4649COLLAGE2.png" alt="0df2a458d3af4d96a164249f28de4649" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="0df2a458d3af4d96a164249f28de4649" data-width="1600" data-height="1200">👘 Cultural Narrative The hat, shaped like a broken bowl, is influenced by Kintsugi—the Japanese art of embracing flaws through golden repairs. Here, the ‘cracks’ are visualized as mossy, organic drips, symbolizing the idea that from brokenness, something new and alive can grow.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/c029325f02314052beac650c24d2ee99/images/3129f5a234324ea9a4aee83bc88c7d34COLLAGE4.png" alt="3129f5a234324ea9a4aee83bc88c7d34" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3129f5a234324ea9a4aee83bc88c7d34" data-width="1600" data-height="1200">🌱 Sustainability in Form and Thought This piece also explores regenerative fashion—created using reusable molds and materials that allow for natural elements (like plants or fungi) to grow. The shoes feature root-like structures, emphasizing our deep connection to nature.🎨 A Wearable Collage of Past and Future The bodice features a printed collage of a traditional Ukiyo-e painting, blending visual heritage with a forward-thinking garment structure. Each element—form, texture, and material—tells a story of continuity, renewal, and identity.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/c029325f02314052beac650c24d2ee99/images/55a2a6f71025407cbde0563014a16ee2COLLAGE.png" alt="55a2a6f71025407cbde0563014a16ee2" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="55a2a6f71025407cbde0563014a16ee2" data-width="1600" data-height="1200">
