He wanted to make artistic silhouettes that distort the idea of an ideal human silhouette. The fluted shapes of garments included an artificial hump or bump and an exaggerated bow, not to an embarrassing but as a fashionable move. The dramatic-shaped garments with supersized shoulders, quirky prints, and patterns dipped in the soft color palettes appealed to the eyes.
