PROJECT STATEMENT
*Piglet Fantasia* explores the relationship between softness, intimacy, and self-expression through a collection of playful fashion accessories. Using exaggerated proportions, plush textures, and sculptural forms, the project transforms familiar accessories into objects that evoke comfort, affection, and fantasy. The collection investigates how accessories can extend beyond their practical functions to become expressive objects closely connected to the body.
01 / INTRODUCTION & CONCEPT
Softness, Intimacy & Fantasy
Piglet Fantasia is a fashion accessories collection exploring softness, intimacy, and personal expression through playful, exaggerated forms.
Inspired by the emotional comfort of piglet Juliet- a plush toy, the collection transforms familiar accessories into wearable forms that blur the boundaries between the body, affection, and fantasy.
02 / RESEARCH & INSPIRATION
From Comfort to Wearable Form
The research began with an exploration of plush textures, soft forms, and the emotional associations of familiar objects. These references informed a visual language that balances playfulness with a sense of intimacy.
Material exploration focused on tactile surfaces, exaggerated proportions, and the relationship between soft materials and the body. Through these experiments, the collection developed its distinctive pink-gray palette and sculptural accessory forms.
03 / DESIGN PROCESS
Developing Wearable Forms
The design process focused on transforming soft, playful shapes into wearable accessories. Through sketches and experiments with proportion, I explored how exaggerated forms could interact with the body while maintaining their practical functions.
The development of the collection involved experimenting with silhouettes, construction, and the combination of plush textures with structured elements. These explorations informed the final handbags and wearable accessories.
The collection explores the contrast between soft, fluffy textures and structured accessories. Pale pink-gray plush materials create a sense of warmth and comfort, while gray suede-like surfaces introduce a different tactile quality. Metal rings, zippers, and other hardware add functional details and create a subtle contrast with the softness of the materials. Together, these elements transform familiar fashion accessories into playful, tactile objects that interact with the body.
04 / FINAL WORKS
The Final Collection
The final collection brings together oversized plush accessories, soft handbags, and sculptural wearable forms. Through exaggerated proportions, pale pink-gray textures, and playful styling, the finished pieces explore how familiar accessories can become expressive extensions of the body.
