About X World Indumentaria
X World es una prenda conceptual inspirada en radiografías de insectos. El diseño traslada el exoesqueleto de un insecto a una forma vestible, disponiendo capas de estructuras similares a caparazones sobre el cuerpo humano. X World está elaborada con la artesanía china de los faroles de palacio, una técnica inscrita como patrimonio cultural inmaterial. Tras numerosas pruebas de materiales, se combinó una estructura de alambre de hierro con gasa de seda, una unión a la vez ligera y flexible. La prenda es delicada y a la vez resistente, y presenta la vulnerabilidad como una forma temporal de protección.

- Vulnerability is the body's natural "airbag" that turns it into protection when we are faced with a difficult or mentally challenging situation. I think of this protection as an insect exoskeleton attached to our bodies, providing a temporary sense of security. I made this "exoskeleton" into clothes. It's beautiful and fragile, thin and tough.
