MUDA

A body in transition

2026 / Collection design and garment development

MUDA imagines an organism gradually transforming its human host. Inspired by biological moulting and H. R. Giger’s biomechanical imagery, its eleven designs explore unstable states between body and organism, reflecting the pressure to continually remake our identity. CHRYSALIS is the realised look.
