This collection explores gender beyond binary limits, reimagining identity through knitwear as both material and metaphor. Drawing inspiration from Charles Fourier’s vision of a third gender—and its echoes in global spiritual traditions—the work challenges traditional constructs by centering the abstract body and the being within.

Through experimental knit techniques, including horizontal knitting and partial knitting, an alternative whole-garment construction method emerges, shaping the silhouette in new and expressive ways. Each piece becomes a wearable act of resistance and redefinition. Cultural references from Greek mythology to Eastern philosophy shape a narrative where fashion becomes philosophy in motion.

Rather than concealing, these garments reveal—honoring the fluid spirit, the in-between, and the unspoken. Astral Project is not just a collection; it is a call to unravel, rethink, and reimagine identity through the threads of history, body, and soul.
