Fashion Design and Engineering

Womenswear, Denim, Unisex

I am currently a junior in Wuhan Textile University, majoring in fashion design and engineering. I like to seek inspiration from all kinds of things, because I believe that everything has a spirit, and they all have their own design methods.What I want to do is to combine them with my ideas and form a new creation.

Kenya

Category: Apparel

Competitions: China Mainland

The collection is inspired by the Great Migration of Animals in Kenya, where "there are no scared animals, only people who are enclosed". The vigor of life is vividly displayed here - the vast grassland, the unbridled sky, groups of animals walking and running here, countless animal groups converge into a winding blueprint, and humans driving off-road vehicles shout and shuttle in it, rut marks and animal footprints overlap each other, and man and nature coexist in harmony here. In this collection, I chose to use leather embroidery to reflect the spectacular scenes formed by the migration of different populations, and the shape of animal bones and muscles in a state of movement and off-road vehicles as the source of inspiration for silhouettes - The body of the top simulates animal bones, the sleeves simulate the covering form of muscles, and the lower body is a skirt, composed of multiple dividing lines, at which ruffles made of wool fabric are added, and openings are made at the knees, so that the clothing presents a flexible dynamic effect when walking, symbolizing the movement of the limbs of the animal when running, and at the same time, the concave and convex effect of leather and wool fabric lace on the volume symbolizes the shape of the wheel of the off-road vehicle, in order to express the view of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The body and skirt are made of vegetable-tanned cowhide in primary colors, reflecting the true nature and true life.
