The pull of civilization
Category: Apparel
Competitions: Taiwan Region
This group of designs is inspired by the pulling texture produced by leather in the process of natural drying. This change with traces of time is transformed into clothing language, and further combined with the neoclassical emphasis on proportion, structure and order to form a style that is both historical and contemporary. The design deliberately retains the original hard and straight characteristics of leather. At the same time, through the delicate lace elements as a "softening medium", a balance is achieved between rigidity and softness, so that the overall vision is not too serious or oppressive, but shows a layered texture dialogue. In the design of trousers, suspenders and metal hardware accessories are used for structural reorganization to create a visual effect similar to the skirt being pulled up, blur the boundary between trousers and skirts, and further enhance the three-dimensionality and dynamic performance of clothing. The overall design concept emphasizes "structure-oriented" and "material-dominated", trying to counter the rapidly changing abandoning fashion thinking of contemporary times. Through the adjustable structural design and material characteristics that change over time, clothing is no longer a one-time finished product, but an existence that will gradually evolve with the wearer's usage habits. Traces of leather use, oxidation changes of hardware, and even the relaxation and fit of fabric will become a part of the design, so that the clothing will continue to produce new appearances in long-term wear. At the same time, this series responds to the concern about durability, adjustability and long-term wear value, and emphasizes the concept of "permanent wardrobe" - clothing is not only the current styling choice, but also an object that can accompany users through time and carry memory. Through such design thinking, we hope to establish a more in-depth and continuous wearing relationship, so that fashion can return to the real dialogue between material, structure and time.
