CONNEC TING THE DOTS ...
GEN. Y TRAITS
Gen. Y also known as Millennials or Generation Me are the cohorts born from 1977-1994. They are more focused on materialistic values and less concerned about helping the larger community as compared to Gen. X. They are open minded, more supportive of equal rights and can be described as confident, self-expressive and receptive to new ideas and ways of living.
SELF ACTUALIZATION
It is the realization/fulfillment of one’s talent and portentialities, especially considered as a drive or need present in everyone. This concept was brought to prominence by Maslow’s hierachy of needs as its final level of psychological development that can be achieved when all basic and mental needs are fulfilled and the actualization of the full personal potential takes place. It can be seen as a similar concept to self exploration/ self discovery.

“I owe no expla nations for my flaws. I don’t have to justify my insecurities. I am growing. Let me live.”
“I WANTED TO SHOW A TRANSITION OF A TYPICAL GENER ATION-YOUNG ADULT AND THE PHASES THEY GO THROUG DURING A SMALL SPAN OF YEARS. I SEGREGATED THE TR ANSITION INTO 4 PHASES.”
2
PHASE 1: ADOLESCENCE
PHASE 3: DYSFUNCT
Innocence and Naive attitude to Life. Pure and simple edgy fashion style.
On a journey to maturity. Trying out new things. Adventurous, Quirky.
TIMELINE
S E L F AC T UA L I Z AT I O N
PHASE 2: INSURGENT
P H A S E 4 : M AT U R I T Y
Innocence Lost. Rebellion Found. Tomboyish style. Defiant attitude.
Not in the sense of mature mindset whereas in being comfortable in your own skin and identity.

“He liked her with long hair, so she cut it short”
Overview: To portray the attitude and spunkiness reflective to the direction of my collection. I was inspired by youths of this generation (Y).
I was inspired by juvenile teens with a ‘I don’t care’ attitude. Which reflects their fashion choices. I wanted to show the transition of their mindset and growing process.

“He liked her with long hair, so she cut it short”
To show the transition of phases in my collection, the colours play an important role in its transition.
For the 2nd phase, the colours get more stronger and ‘in your phase’ like the red and electric blue.
I wanted to show a pure, playful, innocent side to the 1st phase (Adolescence).
Phase 3, is dysfunct and its a strong play of all the colours blended together. Its is over the top. Phase 4, is more tone down, and more focused on colours which defines who they are in the maturity phase.

THE COL LEC TION
“I STARTED MY DESIGNS FROM A INNOCENT STANDPOINT I WANTED IT TO NOT ONLY PORTRAY INNOCENCE AND NAIVIETY BUT ALSO THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SOMETHING.. BAD.”
STRANGERS. FRIENDS. BEST FRIENDS. LOVERS. STRANGERS.
“I HAD CHOOSEN THE PATH OF THE BLACK SHEEP RATHER THAN THAT OF THE UNICORNS AND PUPPIES.”
REBELLION IS WHEN YOU LOOK SOCIETY IN THE FACE AND SAY I UNDERSTAND WHO YOU WANT ME TO BE, BUT I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHO I ACTUALLY AM.
“Where should I go?” -Alice. “That depends on where you want to end up.” - The Cheshire Cat.”
I always felt these quotes relatable to teenage angst. We’re all trying to find our place in the world, in ourselves, and I wanted to tell the story of a bunch of misfits, trying to find a place in these world.
THESE ARE THE PIECES OF MY YOUTH, THE SMALL SECRETS AND THE NOT-SO-GREAT EXPECTATIONS THAT DEFINED MY COMING OF AGE.
