Concept / Inspiration
The design gets its inspiration from the contour lines of Taiwan's terrain, integrating this concept into the design of the clothing. The color scheme of the uses earth tones paired with contour lines in black over a white background. The outline of the garments is presented in a 3D way, as the designer aims to convey the differences within Taiwan's landscape and the concept of dimensionality, expressing the beauty of Taiwan through the combination of topography and clothing. The wool symbolizes the growth and changes of the land, with different colors and irregular shapes representing the nurturing and vitality of the land. The theme of the design, 'Mountain City,' represents Taiwan's mountain ranges and terrain, which form many "mountain cities" that protect us, making evident of our dependence and reliance on nature for protection.
(The imagery is intended to create a new fusion of objective appearance and subjective spirit, something that carries a certain meaning and atmosphere.) The goal is to showcase the beauty of Taiwan to the world! The design concept, materials, and prints are conceived with a focus on sustainability, conveying the beauty of nature through the designs on the garments.
