Nightmares and solitude, what may be considered the key to madness, becomes the catalyst for the realities of Giami, a designer who references the worlds of dreams and many worlds theory. The Next Stories I’ll Tell are My Fever Nightmares, initially conceptualized in 2019 and developed through the course of 2020, reflecting the adaptation and loneliness brought by the world circumstances at the time. During these moments of facing one’s reflection, almost as if two of one have unknowingly existed along each other.

With this collection, a short story was written about two characters who interact via dreams alone. The collection was reflecting the character design and the sentiment the characters experience throughout chapters, while combining the surrealism in dreams, such as the arm sling muff handbag, sleepwear silhouettes and disorganized layering. 

Themes of humanity, identity and bleak realities. Exploring visual works such as Dai Sato’s Ergo Proxy 2006 (Giami’s Pino Bonnet named after Pino Auto Reiv) and Chiaki J. Konata’s Texhnolyze 2003, becoming transcendental and key influences to the collection, were also parallel to the designer’s philosophies and physical environment at the time. In addition to the masterful writing of these works, the color palette and soundtracks were pivotal to world building for the collection. Soundtracks for the previously mentioned and more works were curated into the 79113901 playlist, at 4 h 44 min length, the playlist was intended to be played in order for a cinematic feel to real life.
