"Mum, I Am Home" carries the sweetness of Italian nostalgia-but also the awareness that you are no longer the same as when you left. Returning feels like surrendering to time and memory, experiencing the contrast between past and present, between who you were and who you have become.
In a way, coming home is a gentle shipwreck-an immersion in memory, culture, and roots, without losing yourself completely in them.
Growing up, acquiring clothes was about feeling, transformation, and communion. Some pieces were gifted, others found in flea markets, and some lovingly made by my mother or grandmother from repurposed fabrics. Through this, I learned that clothing is more than just fabric-it's a ritual, a form of preservation and reinvention.
Hanged Empress and this collection embody these emotions-timeless pieces that evoke nostalgia yet hold the power to transform. Clothes that are passed down, swapped, and reinterpreted, carrying new meanings with each wearer.
"Mum, I'm Home" is not just about returning-it's about rediscovering, reinterpreting, and reimagining who we are through what we wear. Even for those not returning to a physical home, this collection reflects the feeling of coming home to oneself-reconnecting with identity through clothing and personal expression.
