Concept / Inspiration

2022-

The year of chaos everything we know is disintegrating right in front of our eyes. We as the new generation has to come up with our own way of living in this new times.

作品與「永續」、「功能」、「機能」之關聯性

運用膠囊衣櫥的概念,來設計出精簡和有目的的服裝。

我試著突破大家對normal wear的刻板印象,大膽地運用人體以有的線條和舒適的布料去玩弄基本款的版型。這不僅有助於減少我們的購物浪費,還可以提升我們的創造力和個人風格。這些服裝將代表著我們對世界的態度,我們不害怕跳出舒適區,迎接挑戰和變化。

SUSTAINABILITY and FUNCTION

The collection I would be presenting today is my graduation show. I specifically named it Mad Years 2022, the year when pandemic took over the world. When thinking about the ongoing extreme violence and uncertainty our society face, such as the war in Ukraine and Russia, raging diseases and an overload of information. I wanted to create a sense of personal security to the garments. The main inspiration was when I unfortunately was send to quarantine in a facility outside of my house due to strict government regulations, it was 2 weeks of uncertainty and loneliness. With a hour notice I had to pack the essentials and leave for the motel.

It was an endless loop of helplessness and routinely health check-up. I found comfort curling into a fetus position and enclosing in the blankets that were provided, wearing only oversize hoodies and T-shirt was my new norm.

I wanted to convey the frustration and challenges we have faced as an population and I wanted to create a capsule collection that could equip those that will continue on to the chaos that life is. I employed close fitting nylon fabrics as a metaphor which symbolizes “A safe haven” that is flexible enough to withstand informal and external struggles. I started my collection by A safe haven’ that is flexible enough to withstand informal and external struggles. I started my collection by observing the interaction between the body and garments how does clothes carters towards the human form and everyday life.

When drawing upon social and political issues. I thought about the space which surrounds the body, and I started to look into the diaries written during quarantine.The needs and wants and how that would change how people view clothes.

I wondered what a modern, nomadic world citizen would have as a personal reference to their past and what they might need for the journey ahead.
