DRAGEN

“Ambition is like a drug to me; I can’t get enough. It causes problems in my personal life. I’m pushing myself physically to compete digitally. A personal struggle I recognize in all industries of my generation. The collection focuses on the heavy thoughts and feelings you carry with yourself caused by ambition. This is a story about: ambition, pressure, decisions, and love.”

Gradients show added weights in the garments, triggering the vagus nerve, to reduce anxiety and boost confidence. Inspired by anxiety blankets and weighted vests, this approach uses physical weight as a remedy for mental weight, addressing the psychological burden with a tangible solution.
