Constructed from sheer silk layered over a pink jersey fabric, We Lied to Each Other explores the quiet performances that exist within intimate relationships. The outer layer is printed with the phrase, "Kiss my forehead if you love me," while the inner dress reveals, "If it's not love, I don't want it." Together, the two statements create a conversation between outward expression and private desire.

The garment reflects the comfort we often find in shared illusions—the masks we wear to preserve the appearance of love, even when authenticity has faded. It also questions the symbolism of the forehead kiss, a gesture often regarded as one of the purest expressions of tenderness. When performed without genuine love, it becomes another performance: intimacy without sincerity, affection without truth. The piece asks whether we sometimes choose convincing gestures over honest emotions, even when we know the difference.
