This look is inspired by the White Rabbit, who was perpetually late—forever chasing the Queen’s schedule, yet never living a life of his own. I used this character as a metaphor for how we often obsess over celebrities and glorify lives that add no real value to our own. In doing so, we neglect ourselves, becoming “late” and absent in our own journeys. Through this design, I wanted to reveal the contradictions of human nature by showcasing the phrase “I’m Late”—a reminder of how easily people can cling to unhealthy habits or ideas, even celebrating them as if they were virtues.
