Personal identities such as castes and clans can be manifested by the clothes that people dressing. On the contrary, since the symbolic dressing code, people might be considered by others preconceivedly. Thus, clothes, especially uniforms, are much more like a box, shaping individuals similar. A cube, as the key design philosophy, is brought into this project. Accordingly, the style of this collection would be maintained at minimalist and hermaphroditic.
