The collection proposes a contemporary dialogue between Belgium and the Congo, exploring their historical relationship marked by tension and imbalance. Through three looks, this connection is translated into forms and volumes that confront the rigid and the organic, using fashion as a medium to reflect on memory, identity, and cultural reconciliation.

The inspiration comes from research into the colonial past, reinterpreting Congolese masks, particularly Luba masks, for their symbolic and spiritual strength. In contrast, references to Belgian military aesthetics are incorporated. The Abacost also appears as a symbol of cultural resistance, representing the search for autonomy and identity in response to Western influence.

A simple material palette is used to emphasize volume, working with denim, knitwear, and faux leather as an ethical alternative to animal leather. Checked wool and cotton poplin introduce a more formal language, while textile manipulations in silver foil add a ceremonial shine.
