The Story Behind

CHRITIFF Year theme - Breakthrough

where pain and liberation dance across its folds. On the left corner, iron shackles lie cold and unyielding—a chain of "what was," its rigid links echoing silent battles fought in dim corridors of the heart. But follow its curve, and watch darkness transform: the metal fractures into a luminous bridge of rainbows, each hue a rebellion against the grey. At its zenith sits a creature both whimsical and wise—an elephant, trunk curled triumphantly around an ice cream cone, creamy rivulets painting its belly like war medals made of joy. 

This is no mere pattern. It’s a cartography of courage. 

The shackles are familiar to all who’ve carried invisible weights— But the rainbow demands movement. Not the dramatic leaps of heroes, but the quiet tremor of a hand choosing to release what no longer serves. The ice cream in CHRITIFF Rabbit’s cute hand whispers a radical truth: *Joy cannot wait for perfect conditions.* 

What makes the design breathe is its unfinished revolution. The chains don’t vanish—they evolve. Like scars turned to compass roses, they map routes from survival to sovereignty. When Hong Kong’s autumn winds lift these scarves into momentary flight, bystanders glimpse a manifesto: that every ending carries the pigments of a beginning, that what once confined us can become the art that sets others free. 

The true magic lies in the silent pact between designer and wearer: to keep transforming their chains into bridges, one bold splash of color at a time.
