Fragile forces

Vivien Tran

HSBI - Hochschule Bielefeld

Fragile Forces explores the deconstruction of military archetypes through softness, vulnerability and empathy. The collection challenges the traditional association of strength with power and protection, instead proposing fragility as a form of strength. Military-inspired silhouettes are reinterpreted through softer shapes, delicate materials, draping and experimental textile techniques. Contrasting elements such as structured garments and translucent fabrics create a dialogue between protection and exposure, hardness and softness.
