This collection is an exploration of the word ‘Metempsychosis’, the transition between two reincarnations of one purpose. We were inspired by two ideas: the regeneration shown in sports, and the transformation when a monarch is crowned.
Transitioning between new beginnings and old pasts, change is prevalent in our lives. ‘Metempsychosis’ is a result of the constant cycle of rebirth and evolution that exists in our own sphere. In this collection, we continue to push the boundaries of youth and the natural world as well as expanding our skill in the element of garment making.

EVA
ABOUT US Eva Phillips a student studying at Central Saint Martins. She has interests in many art forms, such as designing and creating garments, photography, visual arts, and music. She has styled a music video, created several t-shirt designs, and upcycled most of her wardrobe, and done several small personal projects, which has fueled her love for fashion creation. She studies Fashion History, continuing her love for history, as well as still staying in the field of fashion. She is inspired by Rudi Gernreich’s construction and movement, Vivienne Westwood’s punk-rock perspective on previous eras in fashion, and the clean aesthetics of French New Wave flicks.
Caitilyn Yu is a fashion design student at Parsons The New School of Design. However, she also holds interests and experience in other art forms as well, from piano to fine arts. Caitilyn has also worked with people in the fashion industry such as Lotta Volkova, Jenny Fax, Mikio Sakabe, Yelen Ayé, and Taka Arakawa. She specializes in design, pattern-making, modeling, and photography, which are all done by herself in all her projects. Currently, Caitilyn takes inspiration from the youthful style of Tao Kurihara, the experimentation and colors of Chet Lo, the creative direction of Jenny Fax, and the unconventional silhouettes created by Atelier Iwakiri.
