Swim

The artist got inspiration from a dream: one day she became a fish, swimming in layers of paper-cut ocean with friends. Then she started to make this dream into reality. Starting by drawing hundreds of two-dimensional abstract Chinese paper cut patterns which contain different blessings and sketching out plentiful postures of fishes. Then the artist drew and re-mixed those elements with creative software by expressing them into a three-dimensional, realistic effect just like oil painting rich in lights and shadows. It’s an attempt of crashing eastern art expression with western.

The Weight Of Textile Story

In addition, designer asks people to question the social value of textiles, which in turn may inspire us to think more deeply about ourselves. Its contemporary design, using both digital and hand-drawn techniques, the vivid colours and the its multiple uses make it unique.

Transformable fabric

Enfold

Enfold is a transformable smart textile incorporated clothing that can be automatically worn by folding and changing the details using origami and shape memory alloy (SMA). This wearable medium is to assist those who have trouble dressing by allowing the garment to wrap around and fit the wearer without outside help. The SMA remembers its original shape and after the alloy is bent, it goes back to the original shape when it is heated. By employing SMA in the folds of fabric, the fabric can be as transformable.

Foulard

Fusion

The silk female foulard inspired by the animal Kingdom, exotic nature and colors. The fashion accessory with the gentle affinity of animals drowning in flowers made in four color palettes. The four colors like the four seasons or the four sides of the world, a journey through time and space. If you connect the two corners of the foulard, you find yourself in the exotic world of African animals and hot emotions. Your head is spinning from the smell of flowers and the bright rays of the sun. The accessory tied around the neck will create an accent on the face and bring the look to perfection.
