This collaborative mini-collection of four looks, created with my classmate Anne-Marie Mauricio-Galvez, explores two contrasting social phenomena: the Peter Pan syndrome—when adults resist growing up—and the tendency of some children to rush through childhood in a hurry to become adults. To illustrate these themes, we combined soft, pastel colors that evoke childhood with structured fabrics inspired by office wear, highlighting the tension between innocence and responsibility, playfulness and professionalism.
