For this design, I chose to honor the Japanese art of kintsugi. This ancient practice of repairing broken pottery with gold celebrates imperfection and transformation, turning what is broken into something even more beautiful. To me, kintsugi represents resilience and the beauty of embracing one's history. That’s why I incorporated porcelain-inspired patterns and golden veins into my Firebird jacket design. These elements symbolize not only the elegance of Japan but also the idea of finding strength and grace in imperfection. Through this creation, I aim to transform the Firebird into a piece that feels personal and meaningful—a reflection of the place and philosophy that feel like home to me.
