XUN——蟳埔渔女文化下的可持续编织鞋履

Category: Footwear

“xun” 在中文里是寻找的意思，也是我的灵感来源 ”蟳埔"。“蟳埔”是福建沿海的一个村庄，人们以捕鱼为生，但蟳埔村的每个女人头上都戴着簪花，这是她们对美的追求。我的设计探寻可持续、编织和渔女文化之间的联系，用碎皮革的拼贴，废旧皮革条的回收编织来达到可持续与美的共存。‘xun’ in Chinese means to look for, and it's also my source of inspiration ‘xunpu’ (蟳埔).‘xunpu’ is a village on the coast of Fujian, where people make a living by fishing, but every woman in ‘xunpu’ wears a hairpin made of flowers on her head, which is their pursuit of beauty.My designs explore the links between sustainability, weaving and fisherwomen's culture, using collages of scraps of leather, recycled leather strips and weaving to achieve a sustainable and beautiful coexistence.
