Intimacy can be both a bond and a boundary—a fragile dance between closeness and control. This story is about 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 armor we wear even in our most vulnerable moments, while strings weaving the models together symbolize both attachment and entrapment, mirroring the way relationships can both 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.
