吴曼云，就读于东华大学服装与服饰设计专业，对服装的面料改造与染色设计进行过众多尝试，对科技前沿在服装上的应用有着极大的热情，作品曾尝试动态装置在与服装中的运用设计。同时关注可持续时尚设计，对于服装裁剪边角料、皮革边角料等材质进行创新设计应用，开发出的服装与配饰作品参与多次上海商圈的展览，与沪尚回收等组织进行过合作项目产出，推动可持续作品产品化发展。针对于循环改制手法的可持续时尚的作品开发项目获得学校对学生的重点立项支持。
I am currently studying Fashion and Apparel Design at Donghua University. I have carried out extensive explorations in fabric transformation and dyeing techniques, and I am deeply passionate about applying cutting-edge technology to fashion design. My past works have included experiments with dynamic installations integrated into garments.
Sustainable fashion is another core focus of mine. I actively explore innovative ways to repurpose leftover materials from garment and leather production. I have developed a range of garments and accessories using these materials, and my work has been showcased in several exhibitions across Shanghai’s commercial districts. I have also collaborated with organizations such as Hushang Recycling to turn sustainable concepts into viable products.
One of my sustainable fashion projects, which centers on circular redesign methods, was selected as a key student-supported initiative by my university.
本系列灵感来源于秋蝉，尝试捕捉这一短暂却绚烂的生命意象。秋天是蝉生命中的最后阶段，秋日的斜阳穿透其薄翼，映出斑驳而细腻的琥珀色光影。经历数年黑暗土壤中的沉默生长，它终破土而出，虽然生命短暂，却以鸣唱直至生命的终点。设计从蝉翼的镂空结构中汲取灵感，通过皮革拼贴与镂空工艺，重新演绎蝉的形态。皮革往往被视作一种厚重而颜色相对单一的材质。此次设计也尝试通过将扎染工艺应用在皮革上，创造出富有变化的纹样肌理，突破皮革的单色设计。在材质运用上，收集可二次利用的皮革边角料打造出多片式的拼皮大衣，推动皮革的可持续设计。
This collection is inspired by the autumn cicada, an ephemeral yet radiant symbol of life’s final bloom. Autumn marks the last stage of the cicada’s life. As the slanting sun filters through its fragile wings, it casts a delicate amber glow, dappled and intricate. After years of silent growth beneath the earth, the cicada finally emerges—its time above ground may be brief, yet it sings boldly until the very end.
Drawing inspiration from the cicada’s wing structure, the design reimagines its form through leather collage and cut-out techniques. Leather, often perceived as a heavy and monochromatic material, is here reinterpreted with hand-dyeing methods to create richly textured and variegated patterns. This approach challenges traditional leather aesthetics, infusing the surface with the layered colors and textures of the autumn landscape.
In terms of material selection, the collection makes use of recycled leather offcuts, assembling them into multi-panel patchwork coats. This not only echoes the segmented nature of cicada wings but also reflects a commitment to sustainable design, breathing new life into discarded materials and expanding the expressive potential of leather.
