The VFX revolution, which began in the late 1970s, led to the creation of various sci-fi-themed films, marking the start of a fusion of art and technology.
In the 1980s, visual art and music entered a new phase. The Cyberpunk style, developed by renowned science fiction writers Philip K. Dick and William Gibson, significantly influenced literature, film, and music. This era also saw the emergence of musical genres such as Post-Punk, New Wave, and Techno. At the same time, the style and culture of Hip Hop evolved rapidly and spontaneously, mainly through techniques like sampling and scratching. A new and radical skate culture was also emerging on the streets.
In developing the concept for '80s-inspired engineered garments for Fall/Winter 2024, I aimed to merge this historical context with modern style, creating a fresh expression through geometric forms.

For sketching, I experimented with markers, fountain pens, and pencils to vary the roughness of the lines.
I emphasized the dynamic contrast between text and artwork to capture city life's vibrant energy and relentless hustle powerfully.
The icon representing the art concept is designed in a geometric form reminiscent of the 1980s.
I deliberately aimed for a rough texture in the print.
The lightning artwork was handmade by cutting and pasting.
