ALIENANT FW2020, collection A Second Before Runway show at NYFW.

The collection A Dream Caused By A Tiny Ant Carrying A Grain of Mega Rice, A Second Before Awakening is based on the designer's six-year-long childhood depressive dream. The depression in the first academic year at MFA made the designer realize more about himself as a person and an artist. After reading the book The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud, he connected his childhood experience with his depression experience and realized he has always tried to find a place where he belongs, a surreal and illusionary world where he could escape from the miserable reality.

Millions of fringe hair represent his personal emotions. The way he transfers all these feelings and craziness is suddenly compressing them in his innovative developed couture textile, glitched fringe lace. This is a five-layer minimum and high-temperature compressed handmade textile, the way he combs millions of fringe hair just represents the art of how he deals with his millions of surreal emo- tions and makes it real.
