Fundamental Concept
Waiting often entails enduring a sense of frustration and restlessness born out of uncertainty and the unknown. However, it's important to recognize that the challenges faced during this waiting period can ultimately lead to a profound sense of fulfillment and happiness once the awaited event or outcome finally arrives. The journey of waiting, with all its trials and tribulations, culminates in a deeply satisfying sense of joy and accomplishment when the anticipation is finally realized.

Understanding the Collection
Using shimmering extra-fine silk organza as the main fabric, the collection endeavors to capture the elusive and ambiguous essence of waiting. In this state, feelings of frustration and uncertainty are palpable but not always clearly visible, often obscured by ambiguity. The prolonged anticipation, fraught with pain until fulfillment, is embodied by a serene blue hue. However, the priceless happiness achieved at the end of the wait is illustrated by delicate white tulips sporadically blooming amidst the azure backdrop, symbolizing the ultimate reward of enduring patience.
