Insomnia
Unfiltered: Fashion Magazine Show
Inspired by the insomnia (sleep loss) that is so prevalent nowadays, Haven translates abstract ideas into crafted garments. From the collection Insomnia, Haven shows a process of self-healing. The word ‘insomnia’ gives a negative feeling about stressful, anxious, and restless in general, and it represents the challenges and obstacles along the way of our lives. Nonetheless, this collection aims to exhibit a way of uncompromised determination of cheering up, shaking off the depression, and self-recovering. The collection Insomnia is also a reflection of Haven’s personal experience of sleep loss, transferring her message of ‘it is never too late to start fighting on our own side against the odds.’
