Yesterday was truly unforgettable.
After months of preparation, our FOMA runway show finally came to life — opening SXSW Sydney with the Fabrics of Modern Australia showcase.
It was such an honor to be selected as one of the eight featured designers this year.

This collection was inspired by Isaac, my muse.
I designed the hanbok with his tone, presence, and movement in mind — and when he finally wore it, it felt as if my imagination had come to life.
Together with Elshine Flower, we explored colors and textures that would perfectly complement both Isaac and the hanbok’s fabric — and seeing it all come together so seamlessly on stage was pure magic.

So grateful for this powerful and inspiring experience.
Thank you, FOMA.

Every place has a story. Every photograph preserves a moment.

FOMA is delighted to feature @the.west.journal, a visual platform dedicated to documenting the landscapes, architecture, and cultural identity of Western Sydney through fine art photography.

Their curated collection of photographic prints celebrates the people, places, and everyday moments that shape one of Australia's fastest-growing and most diverse regions.

At FOMA, we believe creativity extends beyond fashion. It lives in art, photography, culture, and the stories that connect communities. The WEST Journal shares this vision by capturing the character of Western Sydney through a unique visual lens.
