Entry Description

This season, Xinzi delves into the nostalgic yearning of individuals living in foreign lands for their homeland, weaving a tale through the fusion of diverse fabrics. Xinzi translates the unique attributes of each fabric into a design language.
By layering wool knitwear with wool crepe and silk satin with silk organza, Xinzi employs the layering of natural fibers to craft a fresh aesthetic.
She uses concrete, meaningful elements to describe an abstract emotion. Her goal is to achieve both comfort and practicality in each piece, while also incorporating innovation and emotional expression.
