Every print and fabric in the project is original and she mainly used PU leather, Satin, Power Mash, and Spandex for the base of the fabrics.

Sense Move

Inspired by a famous choreographer - Yin Mei’s wise words “I can create an architecture space using my joints, which is already telling a story”, Sense Move Costume is a geometrical kinetic sculpture folding following along with the movement of the body. It communicates sensitively through the body movements of the dancers, and enhances the emotional transmission between the dancer and the audience. The different light effects express the costume’s emotions by the pressure sensor; for instance, a slow fade is breathing, and a flash conveys excitement.

The Silk Road

This design tells about the Great Silk Road, a unique social phenomenon when the East became acquainted with the West and both worlds were enriched with knowledge of each other. Each item in the collection is made of natural fabrics and manually decorated with silk ribbons. Each item is a postcard from different places and tells its own story. Here you can see the rice terraces of China, and night in the Japanese garden, and patterns of wind on the sands in the desert, and feel the coolness of oases.

Rebirth

The idea of this collection is to reveal those beauties hidden in the winter spirit. Following the minimalist design principle, the garments keep fresh and neat appearance with simple silhouettes and clear outlines. Details such as oversized collars, Velcro loop closures and asymmetric structures provide visual highlights to the looks. Low saturated Morandi color selection helps neutralize color temperatures to create more gentle elegant textures for the garments. There is no need to follow the others. Beauties are hidden in the true selves, pure, simple, unique and special.

Smart Breath Down

Based on the distribution of human sweat and heat, combined with aerodynamics, as well as high-tech materials and special structural design, the designers have innovated the smart breath system. During physical exercises, the hot and humid air is gathered and distributed to the specific heat dissipation area through the airflow channels. At the same time, the externally adjustable channels allow the cold air to enter the inside, thereby forming an air circulation in the clothes.
