- Type of research: Incorporating into new thinking of this generation and making changes. The purpose is to transform traditional accessories into new faces, and make traditional craftsmanship revive again. Additionally, we could explore the possible combination of metalworking and embroidery techniques.
- Inspiration
- There all kinds of accessories in the market. Besides, each of them is full of specialty. Take the design which was set with metals and gems for example, although it seems to be traditional and even outdated, it is filled with a lot of great opportunities that can be combined with various of contemporary materials. On top of that, there’s another traditional handicraft that gradually disappears and lacks someone to inherit, that is, the embroidery. Similarly, it has inherited the spirit of traditions and techniques. It fully conveys a kind of mental thoughts that only can be reached by sewing every single needle or piece of thread.
