WRITING A GARMENT

WRITING A GARMENT

The traditional artistic heritage of China, in particular the calligraphy of the characters of the Chinese language, has experienced a kind of displacement in recent years. Used in a superficial way as decoration on a graphic level, the true and deeply cultural meaning has been lost. With this collection, I’m expressing my feelings by using the written form of the mother tongue as the central force behind my designs. Through a process of construction and deconstruction, I explored the meaning of every letter and translated it into my own ‘fashion language’.
