Entry Description

Inspired by the beauty of Dunhuang's Mogao Grottoes in China, this series captures the sensation of wind-blown sleeves. It utilizes the world's lightest mass-produced fabric, stitched with 100-ply ultra-fine silk threads. Drawing colors and patterns from Cave 156 of Dunhuang, it employs gradient overlays and spray printing to give the fabric unique texture. The sleeves resemble traditional Chinese Hanfu, the skirt mimics the flying robes of celestial beings, and is crafted from sheer gauze. The clothing dances gracefully with the wind.
