Modeled by Crystal Hac

Inspired by upcycled jerseys and sportswear, this look combines the structured aesthetics of athletic uniforms with a feminine personal touch. Using grey jersey fabric and black lace sourced from Reuse Arts and Crafts, I designed a custom jersey top with the number 24 symbolizing the current year. The top is paired with a layered mini skirt reworked from Adidas sweatpants thrifted at Goodwill, blending sporty functionality with playful rebellion.

This design reflects the theme of youth navigating the complex, competitive structures of life—where success is often measured through comparison, and the stakes feel like a constant win-or-lose battle. By reshaping the traditional uniform, the look symbolizes redefining the rules of the game and embracing individuality in the face of opponents and cheaters who don’t know how to play.
