Inspration 

The ability to apricate diversity of perfection is lost in this process said by Yoji Yamanto a while knows Japanese designer that has influence Jiayi Chen significantly thinks that "perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion." (Thy Nguyen, 2020). In the current society we live in, concerns regarding perception and the underlying guidelines about perfection in body, beauty, and objects. Most people are trapped in this mindset, feeling the need to achieve society's expectations. Particularly in the fashion field, the typical size fit and fashion sketch often remind the broader community of perfection.

Encouraging individuals to focus on appreciating what we have rather than shaping them into what they should be, following the ideology of Wabi-Sabi, the traditional Japanese philosophy of acceptance and view in finding beauty in all sides of imperfection in nature.
