The fashion world is portrayed as both celebrated and inaccessible, creating a contradiction between producing luxury beauty and requiring extreme precarity from young creatives. Unpaid work, endless internships, underpaid jobs, and economic and psychological sacrifices are presented as a silent norm. Only those with economic privilege can remain long enough to enter and survive within the system. A staged figure is shown suspended between fashion student and homeless person, wearing fashion garments while displaying lack, exhaustion, and waiting. Homelessness is treated as a consequence of exclusion rather than an aesthetic stereotype. The project questions a system that claims inclusivity while demanding invisible sacrifices, emphasizing that true luxury is the ability to dream without self-destruction.
"This project does not aim to accuse individuals, but to question a system that speaks of inclusivity while demanding invisible sacrifices. A reflection on what it truly costs to belong to a world that promises everything, yet grants very little. Because true luxury today is not the garment. It is being able to dream without destroying yourself."
