Focusing on female's most subtle emotions, and their journey of self-discovery. This season's, theme "La Lumiere Interieure" was gathered from the designer's inspiration, "La cicatrice Interieure." An avant-garde French film, where a woman overcomes her emotional agony and desolation through self-resistance, eventually learning the definition of life. Being deeply moved, Ms. Huang reflects on her influence from the film to present this breakthrough experience, creating a feminine yet persistent style as the foundation for her designs.
“Going deep down into the emotion and consciousness, and sinking into a light that contains everything, ready to be embraced, to be healed, to be protected, to emerge, to be a whole. With a pure attitude, AT-ONE-MENT pursues female consciousness, emotion, and soul, dedicates to explore the most delicate dressing experience.”
The romantically fluid collection of elegantly draped gowns that molded beautifully to the frame of the models, and the impeccably tailored suits with a splash of glamour, attached an artistically opulent aspect to the collection.
