In ancient China, mountains and rivers held great spiritual significance as they represented the ideal place for people seeking inner peace and tranquility. Enchanted Mountain was considered a bridge between people and heaven, where individuals could find unity between nature and humanity. Through the scenery of mountains and rivers, people were able to connect with the universe. In this context, mountains and rivers were also considered carriers of thoughts. As a result, I integrated the concept of these natural elements into clothing, providing people with the opportunity to express their inner emotions and thoughts through fashion. The thought carrier was not just limited to literature and art but was also embodied in clothing, allowing individuals to showcase their emotions through their outfits. The overall image and design direction was inspired by a mix of romance, elegance, and strength, incorporating the vertical composition of traditional Chinese ink paintings. The garments created a scenic depiction of mountains and rivers that encircled the human form using different leather materials. This fusion of traditional Chinese culture and modern fashion design aims to convey the deep-rooted spiritual essence of the mountains and rivers, allowing people to experience their inner selves through clothing. By wearing clothing inspired by the natural elements of mountains and rivers, individuals can feel more connected to their spiritual identity and express their thoughts through their outfits.
