Mezzo Melancholies lingers in the hazy space between adolescence and adulthood—where the restless yearning to grow up clashes with the ache for what’s been lost. Inspired by the dreamlike melancholy of Shunji Iwai’s All About Lily Chou-Chou and the raw nostalgia of early 2000s East Asian youth and pop culture, the collection captures fleeting moments of teenage longing, both tender and turbulent.

Fabrics like delicate tulles and Chinese brocade contrast with sturdy nylon and flannels, weaving memory and modernity into a soft rebellion. The palette shifts from muted browns and greys to electric blue and lime green, then blooms into bursts of pink and sparkle—mirroring that fragile threshold between innocence and experience.

Mezzo Melancholies is for the everydaydreamer, the one who carries the past like a whispered secret.
