Cold Hives || Adaptation

Cold Hives || Adaptation

I suffered from cold hives when I was 11 years old for two years. My skin would get swollen in patches and fever when I came in contact with wind or coldness. Therefore, all I could wear at that time was wind protecting garments, long sleeves and pants. In this collection I explored my inner struggle during that time and my adaptation post cold hive. I used the concept of protective garments when creating the silhouttes and details. And created fabrications I desired but would've hurt me at the time.
