This project explores braiding as a metaphor and a design method. I approached the creative process like a braid, intertwining different influences to form a stronger whole. Being a woman shapes everything I do, and my work often reflects femininity and emotional expression through form and material. I experimented with textile techniques, such as removing horizontal threads to create flowing, fringe-like fabric that becomes an extension of the garment—and of the body. Braiding became not only a structural method but a feeling, guiding the flow of garments across the body and blurring the line between function, emotion, and form.
