REDEMPTIVE's spring/summer 2024 collection, titled "OUT OF SERVICE," takes a humorous approach in examining the challenges of modern life. It aims to inspire individuals to rediscover the beauty of life, embrace new opportunities and strike a balance between and seek freedom in their work and personal life.
FETICO's spring/summer 2024 collection, named "Do Not Disturb," emphasises the importance of embracing one's authentic self, irrespective of gender, age or social status. In doing so, the collection advocates for women to enjoy freedom of living without interference.
