沈 易惠

Ling Tung University

My name is Shen,Yi-Hui, a fashion design student and interdisciplinary artist based in Taiwan. My creative work spans from experimental garment construction to hip-hop music, all rooted in a deep exploration of emotional narratives, personal identity, and raw material expression. I believe design is not only about aesthetics—it’s about honesty. My recent projects dive into themes of emotional overwhelm, fragmentation, and inner conflict, transforming abstract psychological experiences into wearable art. I often work with unconventional materials such as silicone, dried flowers, and heat-shrink plastic, pushing the boundaries between fragility and strength, softness and distortion. Through my brand MAVRIK, I aim to redefine freedom—not as rebellion, but as a state of being unbound. My vision combines futuristic forms with street-inspired textures, creating designs that feel like emotional armor—wet, weighty, and unapologetically human. Participating in this international competition is not just a milestone, but a step toward becoming the designer I imagine: someone who creates not only fashion, but impact. I’m here to learn, to challenge, and to bring a new kind of voice into the global design conversation.

DESIRE

Category: Apparel

Competitions: Taiwan Region

This design is inspired by the intertwined imagery of flowers, skeletons, and desire. Flowers symbolize fragility and blooming, skeletons represent inner structure and the foundation of life, while desire grows like creeping vines between flesh and spirit. Leather is chosen as the primary material to embody the tension between suppression and longing—it is resilient yet clings to the skin, much like desire that wraps around the body, difficult to escape. Structurally, the exaggerated side drapes and diagonal flow suggest flowers forcefully blooming through the cracks of bones. The soft pink translucent pleats mimic blossoming petals, contrasting with the deep brown leather that forms the body’s rigid, skeletal base. Decorative lines travel from the neck to the limbs, echoing both bone structures and nerve systems, conveying a constant pull of desire—simultaneously liberating and binding. This piece aims to express that desire is not inherently sinful, but rather a driving force of life—only confined by the frameworks of society and morality, hidden beneath the layers of leather.
