By Incorporating a blend of soft and rigid materials, the design intricately captures the paradoxical journey of women as they strike to break free from the constraints of mass production in commodity culture and societal body standards, resulting in a visually compelling representation.

I did several draping experiments with the "one size fits all" items I purchased at the corresponding brand, during which my body interacted with the body standards driven by the strict beauty standards. The silhouette tells the story of the struggle of all the individuals who are trying to fit into the ideal beauty standards of the female body. As for the printing, I applied pigment and sprays to different types of corsets, trying to visualize the hidden violence that society has inflicted on women.

ABOUT UNSHLTERED ANGEL:

UNSHLTERED ANGEL IS A BODY-INCLUSIVE WOMENSWEAR FASHION BRAND THAT EMBRACES THE DIVERSITY OF THE FEMALE BODY AND BELIEVES THAT BEAUTY LIES IN THE DIVERSITY.

I BELIEVE THAT SEEING IS THE FIRST STEP OF "HEALING".

FASHION IS MY WEAPON, WITH WHICH I CAN VISUALIZE THE HIDDEN VIOLENCE THAT FEMALE BODIES HAVE EXPERIENCED.
