Womenswear, Sustainable Design, Apparel

I am studying fashion design at Sichuan University and will graduate in the summer of 2023. When studying in school, the main research directions include clothing structure design, sustainable clothing design, and computer-aided design. In my senior year, I focused on research on the application of sustainable biomass materials and modular clothing structures in the field of sustainable design. In terms of personal experience, in 2023, I won the Excellence Award in the China College Fashion Week Newcomer Award Competition. And won the E-Show Cup fashion design competition held by our school twice, namely the gold award and the silver award.

The Wondercastle

Category: Apparel

Competitions: China Mainland, International

The Wondercastle is inspired by many fairy tales. The protagonist of the story is usually a brave and kind little girl, and the place where the story takes place is often a mysterious and terrifying castle. Like the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland, Howl's Moving Castle, the abandoned castle deep in the forest on a full moon night, etc. My work is inspired by a story, and I try to design a series of sustainable clothing with children's interest. Environmental pollution may be urgent, but sustainable design also needs to be people-oriented, and should not be a heavy social issue. Magic Castle draws inspiration from Lego bricks, and designs modular and sustainable clothing based on mathematical theories such as geometry. And in the material part, sustainable leather materials will also be mainly used. The work will convey to people that sustainability is not shoddy, and environmental protection is not just a serious pollution problem. It can be extremely fun toys, extremely personalized fashion, design with a sense of life.
