“Whiteness and all grey colors between shite and black maybe compounded of all colors, and the whiteness of Sun’s light is compounded of all the primary colors mixed in a due proportion” (Sir Isaac Newton, Opticks). White is the first of all simple colors, and it could be compounded by all colors.
Pure White Memory collection is an all-white Spring collection. My inspiration comes from the memory between my grandma and me, such as the Chinese mandarin buttons, steamed cakes, and beautiful patterns on her clothes. Although many memories at that time have become blurred, some profound memories can always be connected into a series of lines, weaving memories that belong only to us. Therefore I used a lot of knitting and combine it with fabric in my collection. In this collection, I have incorporated the mandarin button and various other accessories into the design to enrich my design. Furthermore, I designed some jacquards that were inspired by my grandmother.
