The three knives were worn by Fujianese women around 1930s as a form of self protection because Southern China was in a time of chaos. Around that same time, Britain is also going through a transition from the austerity of the Great Depression to the approach of WWI. Fashion during this decade is characterized by elegance, sophistication and a move towards more practical fashion.Drawing from these parallel histories, this collection reinterprets the timeless style of 1930s Western fashion through a modern lens, while honoring the strength and cultural legacy of my Fujianese heritage.
