"Sonder" describes a thought most of us have had at least once: the realization that every person we meet — a stranger on the train, a neighbor, a face seen only for a moment — is living a life just as complex as our own, full of emotions, struggles and victories we'll never know about.
The collection grows out of that realization and tries to give it shape. It isn't about one particular person, but about the inner life we all carry with us: its nuances, its contradictions, its experiences that stay invisible until someone actually stops to look.
Everyone has a story made of successes and failures, hopes and disappointments, love and loss — a story that, most of the time, unfolds in silence, just beneath the surface.
Sonder is built in two distinct parts, connected by a single narrative thread, both working within a neutral palette that moves between black and white.
The first part is an instinctive, experimental exploration of that emotional complexity: oversized volumes, asymmetric cuts, layering and technical fabrics overlap to express the tension between what we show and what we hide, between being and seeming. The shapes seem to fracture and reassemble, echoing the inner chaos of unspoken emotions, hidden thoughts and the insecurities everyone carries.
The second part marks a shift in tone: clean, linear silhouettes, more refined construction, subtle and minimal details.
