Deconstructed Couture

Deconstructed Couture

Deconstructed Couture celebrates the artist’s work behind the final piece.

Craft made visible. Imperfection embraced.

 

A rebellion where finishes remain raw, structure stays exposed, and the creative process is deconstructed. Nothing is unfinished — everything is intentionally revealed.

The Raw Edge: Rhubarb Pleats

“I wanted to showcase rhubarb’s fibres as if they were fabric.

Inspired by Issey Miyake’s pleats, I wove them into translucent strips, leaving the ends raw to contrast structured elegance with natural imperfection, mirroring the layers of flavour in my dessert.”

With Mayan Red 40% white chocolate at its heart, this recipe balances red fruit notes with the acidity of rhubarb and Goheung yuzu. The dessert is composed of a white chocolate mousse, a crunchy pear–rhubarb compote with yuzu confit, set on an Earl Grey pound cake.

Elegance of Chaos

“This trend led me to explore chocolate in all its expressions, playing with every possible texture and form.

A dessert with a deconstructed appearance, yet composed with absolute precision.”

The round, indulgent character of Tuma Yellow 63% unfolds as a crisp gavotte, a silky chocolate cream, praline and crumble, delicately lifted by the tangy crunch of Mayan Red cacao nibs and the freshness of purple shiso.
