Luxun Academy of Fine Arts

Hi, my name is Sun Yuting, a 22-year-old fashion design student at the Luxun Academy of Fine Arts. My focus is on innovative leather and apparel design, with a passion for exploring the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. I believe leather is a versatile material that can carry both functional and emotional narratives, which drives me to experiment with different textures, silhouettes, and sustainable design concepts. Participating in this competition is a valuable opportunity for me to showcase my work, learn from global designers, and further develop my design language in the field of leather fashion.

拟态栖居 Mimic Dwelling

Category: Apparel

Competitions: China Mainland

《拟态栖居》以章鱼的分布式大脑与拟态本能为核心灵感,将触手的缠绕延展、躯体的柔软保护转化为设计语言,隐喻当代人在多元社会中切换身份、寻找栖居方式的生存状态。系列以缠绕廓形、流动线条与矛盾材质,将生物拟态转化为身份表达的载体,传递“在规则中舒展,在栖居中做自己”的态度。设计兼顾人文思考与先锋表达,以天然牛皮、镭射面料、银色反光面料为主要材质,结合压花、镂空、热转印工艺,在可持续理念与零浪费工艺的基础上,打造适配亚文化与高街审美的先锋作品,兼具独特性、时代性与落地潜力。 Mimesis Dwelling takes the octopus’s distributed intelligence and natural mimicry as its core inspiration. It interprets the curling and stretching of tentacles as well as the soft and protective texture of its body into a unique design language, reflecting how modern people switch between different identities and seek a sense of belonging in a diverse society. With twisted silhouettes, flowing lines and contrasting materials, the work turns biological mimicry into a metaphor for self-expression, conveying the philosophy of expanding freely within rules and staying true to oneself. Combining humanistic thinking with avant-garde styling, the design adopts natural cowhide, laser fabric and silver reflective fabric. Supported by embossing, hollowing and heat transfer printing technologies as well as zero-waste and sustainable craftsmanship, it fits the aesthetic of subculture and high street styles, featuring originality, modern appeal and great practical application potential.
