Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a collection to inspire hope amidst adversity. It draws inspiration from Japanese handicrafts and explores how they provided solace to children during World War II. This collection reimagines the fear of the Japanese Occupation through the eyes of a child in the form of textures and light colours clashing with dark khaki uniforms.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow highlights the fears and horrors of the Japanese Occupation through the eyes of a child. When a child is in the presence of formidable Japanese soldiers, how might they reimagine the uniforms to something less intimidating?

The collection implements textures and light colours to clash with the otherwise sturdy dark khaki uniforms. Some of these various textures are meant to symbolise debris from war buildings, origami and playful childlike frills.
