The song of heroes

In "The Song of Heroes," my designs fuse the "New Romantic" era’s diverse characters with my Uyghur heritage. This collection reimagines ancient armor, blending traditional elements with contemporary fashion. Each piece tells a story of cultural pride and social representation, reflecting my personal experiences and artistic vision. It’s a celebration of past traditions, present creativity, and future possibilities.
