The design draws inspiration from the snake’s shedding process, symbolizing growth and vulnerability. As snakes shed damaged skin to reveal a new layer, this delicate transformation is echoed in the pleated tulle and chiffon corset, representing discomfort and fragility. The flowing layers of the dress capture the strength and resilience that emerge from vulnerability, embodying transformation and renewal in the wearer.
