Shimmer Mirage

Category: Accessories

Competitions: Taiwan Region

Inspiration: From Space Age to Cyber Future This piece represents an aesthetic dialogue spanning four decades, drawing its geometric soul from André Courrèges’ 1960s "Space Age" silhouettes. We have reinterpreted the iconic "hourglass cut-outs" and transparent plastic paneling into a contemporary Y2K Cyber-aesthetic. In Shimmer Mirage, female power is no longer a passive ornament but an active reclamation of physical contours and digital space through the strategic use of Negative Space.
