In 2019 fall, As soon as I finished various graphic artworks for Engineered Garments F/W 2020 collection, I started to direct and shoot a short film. The style of this latest collection, "Balance and tune" is inspired by experimental jazz and Ivy league fashion. Myles Davis, Eric Dolphy, John Coltrane, thinking about their progression in their art form. Those progressive styles are reflecting the core concept for this short.
