Zaff Jibby has been diagnosed with Epilepsy since the age of 13 . While pursuing his life ambition in fashion design at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Malaysia, challenges of having epilepsy while studying was a no exception. For his graduate show during his BA HONS in Fashion Design, Zaff Jibby has decided to dedicated his collection to the life long struggle of his life growing up. With the concept of art to wear, Epilepsy was express through the form of abstract thinking and emotional projection.

The collection plays an objective role on spreading an awareness on Epilepsy due to the society lack of information and experience with the issue. Epilepsy is express in a form of abstract as there is no physical reference. With an actual original painting, the designer decided to scan it and turn into an original textile.
