This theme presented unexpected looks by combining classic pieces, like suits or evening gowns, with exaggerated accessories, vibrant colors, or unconventional textures. The students played with the element of surprise, emphasizing the spontaneity and uniqueness that fashion can express. Jack in the Box brought to life the idea that our appearance can be playful, unpredictable, and authentic while challenging expectations.
