“UNCANNY BEAUTY: A TALE OF SELF-OBSESSION AND SALVAGING IDENTITY”
The Autumn I Winter 24 collection by Kyle Ho portrays the stimulation of psychological complexities and egocentricity. The collection reflects upon the evolutionary trajectory of egotism and the transformation of narcissism from an emp
owering force, to a suffocating toxin. It illuminates the uncanny allure of self-centeredness juxtaposed with its ensuing poisonous manifestations.
It explores how an individual's preoccupation with their image and identity can transform and ultimately lead to a process of salvaging their true self. The indication of self-obsession and salvaging identity through traditional tailoring in menswear as a means of storytelling within the garment construction, with each piece incorporating intricate detailing, fabric selections, and silhouette structures, becoming a deliberate choice to symbolise or represent aspects of the uncanny beauty.
