Twinship

This collection explores twinship as a spectrum of identity, where similarities and differences move between alignment, gentle variation and dramatic change. Using patterned fabrics alongside contrast knit elements, the garments reflect how uniformity can both connect twins and highlight points where identity begins to separate. Stripes, paired silhouettes and repeated shapes reference the external expectation of cohesion, while breaks in colours, texture and construction signal moments of separation.

Structured around the identity statuses of Diffusion, Foreclosure, Moratorium and Achievement, the line-up moves from shared boyhood towards more defined personal expressions. Blended masculine and feminine aspects acknowledge the different ways identity can develop from the same starting point.

Through mirrored looks and differentiated pairings, 'Twinship' presents clothing as a space where identity constantly shifts. The collection shows how twinship holds sameness and change in constant tension, shaping the relationship between uniformity and individuality.
