The collection titled “Untamed,” was inspired by the Myanmar culture and its wavy and distorted ceramics that people use for utensils that aren’t necessarily typical. The South Korea based collection aimed to showcase the beauty in the old and forgotten, and how to find new artistry through imagination. From wools and knits we can see ripples of beige, black, whites and hues of mustard in imaginative forms.
