“Intimacy can be both; a bond and a boundary—a fragile dance between closeness and control. This story concerns the complexity of modern relationships, where love and attachment exist alongside the quiet struggle for autonomy. Models, clothed in garments by Ann Demeulemeester and joined by prosthetic hooks, embody this paradox: the yearning to merge with another, driven by the desire to stay free. Heavy leather pieces juxtaposed with delicate lace evoke the protective armour we wear even in our most vulnerable moments. At the same time, strings weaving the models together symbolize attachment and entrapment, mirroring how relationships can connect and constrain. Here, love is neither simple nor easily defined; it is a negotiation, a delicate balancing act between holding on and letting go.”
