TIE REBellion

Bella jiwon Heo

Parsons School of Design

The tie has a phrase of rebellion, The jacket has a crack in uniformity, and The skirt has breath of freedom. This womenswear collection draws inspiration from the rebellious subcultures of Teddy Girls and Sukeban, who reinterpreted uniforms to assert their identity and presence in society.By examining how uniforms regulate identity through institutional power, the collection challenges imposed conformity while embracing individuality within uniformity.Deconstructed tailoring, shrunken or oversized proportions, and printed text transform the tie, jacket, and skirt into symbols of resistance, exposing tension between discipline and freedom.
