Merits Over Mischief: Life Drawing Presentation
DIFW (2026)

Reimagining the traditional runway, this presentation merged fashion, performance, music, and drawing into a multidisciplinary experience. Moving away from the fleeting pace of a catwalk, audiences were invited into a slower, more intimate encounter with the collection through interactive life-drawing sessions, engaging more deeply with its textures, craftsmanship, and narratives. The event explored new ways to make fashion memorable, meaningful, and emotionally enriching.
