In the fall of 2019, I created several graphic artworks for Engineered Garments' Fall/Winter 2020 collection. Following that, I began working on a short film. The latest collection, titled "Balance and Tune," is inspired by experimental jazz and Ivy League fashion. Jazz legends such as Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, and John Coltrane have consistently pushed the boundaries of their art, and their progressive styles served as the core inspiration for the concept of this short film.
