“Tolimė” is an experimental fashion design collection that imagines the future human as both sheltered and vulnerable. Rooted in observations of growing up with screens, it reflects on how digital connection can turn into emotional distance, while the need for touch and empathy becomes stronger. The six looks unfold as a psychological ascent up a mountain, moving through withdrawal, fog, acclimatisation, vulnerability and shared shelter. Body-enveloping silhouettes act as portable refuges; hand-developed textures, natural fibres, felted footwear and climbing-inspired details evoke tactility, sensitivity and adaptability. Through this contrast, “Tolimė” explores privacy, intimacy and the search for connection.
