The hee.lim design aesthetic evaluates different forms of shelter in relation to the human form. It explores the concept of a garment as an entity other than clothing, that can compliment both men and women through a futuristic narrative of dress. Inspired by technology and theparanormal, the designer collection investigates the different functions of outerwear and its ability to transition into a model of shelter. To articulate this metamorphosis, synthetic fabrics are juxtaposed with effortless knits.hee.lim utilizes a fresh approach to how clothing can interact with the body through comfort, sophistication, and a little bit of edge.
