Misaligned

Misaligned explores the experience of existing within systems that were not designed around your perspective. Familiar structures appear slightly altered as panels shift, seams avoid expected pathways, and proportions feel subtly off balance. Inspired by moments of spatial and visual disorientation, the garments challenge assumptions of order, symmetry, and correctness. Rather than treating misalignment as a flaw, the collection embraces it as a space for adaptation, individuality, and new forms of belonging. Through these disruptions, the wearer navigates between fitting in and standing apart, creating meaning within structures that never fully align.

Process and development

The development process focused on translating the concept of misalignment into construction. Through pattern adjustments, panel insertions, curved seams, and shifted proportions, each stage explored how subtle disruptions could transform a familiar garment. Continuous sampling, fitting, and refinement allowed the design to balance functionality with visual tension, creating a piece that feels intentionally off balance while remaining wearable. The final garment reflects a process of experimentation, adaptation, and careful reconstruction.
