This project aims to discuss the liminal identity in liquid modernity through experimental menswear couture. Based on Bauman’s liquid modernity and van Gennep’s "Rites of Passage," it redefines liminality as a continuous state rather than a temporary flaw. The study examines the relationship between the true self and the socially formed self through deconstructed tailoring, 3D printing, and liquid and material experiments to visualize a fluid, fragmented identity.
