Regarding Self Defense Mechanism Garment
Self Defense Mechanism is a menswear collection designed to act as a protective layer for the wearer. The collection responds to an era of information overload, in which people receive more messages each day than one person can absorb. Prints based on neuron and mesh geometry suggest spreading and blurring, so the outside world becomes harder to see and the mind can stay calm. Cotton and nylon mesh are sewn together to form a new texture that echoes the printed pattern. The garments follow standard men's measurements and can be worn as everyday clothing.
About Yi Tung Hung
We are always used to knowing others with a single title, but a person's characteristics can never be fully recognized with only a noun. Therefore I won't give myself a title to tell people who I am. But if someone insist then creator seems a nice word to describe me. I've studied fashion design for 4 years, and graduated last summer. I'm also a model who can fully express themselves to this world. I would like to perform myself in different ways, but it definitely would not be a robot way that human do in this generation. It's still a long path to take before I finally blend into this world, but I believe it's a compulsory process for me to grow and shine.
Award Record
This recognition makes Yi Tung Hung a winner of 1 A' Design Award.

Using neuron and mesh geometry on prints symbolizes the spread and blur which makes us can't see what the outside world looks like and maintain our mind clear.

The real one hiding inside and the fake one control me to live my life. And It is exactly how the Augment Reality works. So in my initially research, it fulls of the image of AR(hiding in womb), neurons (feeling), electricity (neurotransmission).
- Challenge
- The hardest part is to create the texture by sewing cotton and nylon mesh together. It's hard to copy the shape of neurons.
- Realization and Technology
- Using neuron and mesh geometry on prints symbolizes the spread and blur which makes us can't see what the outside world looks like and maintain our mind clear. By sewing cotton and nylon mesh together to create a new texture which is similar to the pattern I design for this collection.
- Operation and Interaction
- People can wear this collection as normal clothing, but also wear it to anywhere depend on their feeling. As long as you feel great to this collection then that's the reason.
