beware of the people
this comes as a warning
ignorance
“ Human race always knew how to self-destruct. As we multiply this phenome-
non by multi-billion, we’ll realize that nuclear weapons exist for a reason.
This collection only exist for one sole purpose: to warn people. Designed
with humanity, nuke, and sarcasm in head, expressing the fear and rage of
our generation. Deconstruction is the main technique I use on patterns and
silhouette, with contrast color to express my emotions about this topic we
must not ignore.

kills
collage of concepts (09.20.2017)
it tells a story of the lost civilization, like
Atlantis, except for it was wiped out by
nuclear weapon, due to the nature of
men’s brutality and fierce competition
over economy, power, dignity and
ambition. All of which brought this to
the subjuect- the self-destruct
mechanism that whoever created us
put in our DNA. at some point, we are
destined to end our own legacy, it’s
almost unavoidable, it’s a flaw in
mankind’s design, like a malware in a
computer. We don’t want it to happen
that’s for sure. but it seems we’re either
too ignorant or totally distracted by all
the good stuff happening around us
that we don’t even notice it’s just a
button away from nuclear apocalypse-

Prototype_ON-001 (2nd skin)

based on the common chemical suit, with an


advanced pattern silhouette, prototype_
ON-001 is made for severe environment,
Nuclear leak for instance. the pattern is
constructed with tight wrap around one’s
body, good support and generous sizing.
the pattern of Prototype_ON-001 consisted of
out-of-ordinary cut, giving the suit more of
a modern and advanced look and utility.
Prototype_ON-002 (whitey)

a fully adjustable (free size) version of proto-


type_ON-001, good for mass production. a high
collar replacing the original hood. with the
adjustable waist, it lacks a great support like
the previous model, think of it as a more casual
wear when the end is near.

#style developement the amount of time i put into this prototypical


what Levi Strauss did to jeans/denim, he reinvented denim during the one-piece protection suit initially rewarded with failure
gold rush in the west coast, when and where the fabric, the style was and frustration as the deadline came closer and closer.
most needed by the crowd. i’m sure denim or jeans existed long before but i was glad i did it properly, and i was very proud of
that, but it was him who saw what people need and came up with the result. it’s probably not qualified as a show piece,
something perfect. including the 501, type1, 2, 3 denim jacket and whole but i’m still very satisfied that i didn’t rush into bad
lot. i wanted to do just that for this collecion so i spent over 2 months decisions and make comeplete trash, i was patient and
developing the pattern, fit, length and all that just to make this garment it’s been rewarded greatly.
perfect, making sure when the time comes, it’ll be made out of the next
level of fabric and into the next generation protection suit.
“ “the SoUl of the collection”

it may seem like a waste of time to pour all that time into a single item, but in my mind, this one-piece protection
suit is the soul of the collection,. the cut of it, the pattern of it, is throughout all the rest items as well, the two piece
sleeves that bend forward, the improved semi-raglan with waist band that fits all size and shape, it’s the perfect
go-to garment that complements this concept. it gives the bread and butter of this collection its foundation to
build on.

the alternation of Prototype_ON-001 and 002, with a flight vest at the bottom. on the top it’s the second outfit in the collection it’s the deconstruction version of the Prototype_
ON-001 with the pocket and logos on the opposite side and the stand up collar instead of hood. on the right is the first ever photo shoot for the original Prototype_ON-001.
Prototype_TC-001 (general’s bae)

raglan sleeves. combining the front shoulder

maintain the shape of one’s shoulder.

“ tHe tAlE Of 2309:
There’s no such thing as human extinction, there are many bunkers for any type of
disasters, yes, even nuclear war or zombie apocalypse. but at this rate, we’re doomed
to face a worldwide warzone ending in way too much death than we would expect.

It has been a beautiful 4 months from the begining of this serie. i called it “beautiful” because
it’s filled with different colors, not literally. there were tears, depression, sense of satisfacion
as i finally did something right, having to do lots of things at the same time was certainly
difficult, but it was rewarded with fascinating work that’d warm one’s heart through a whole
night up.
It’s been a beautiful journey,

thank you.
