I studied womenswear design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology for my undergraduate degree, and then I decided to move to London. After completing a year of study in Kingston University, I am now studying at the Royal College of Art.

My designs are mainly for women and people with special needs, hoping to improve their lives through functional and therapeutic clothing.

I love designing functional and therapeutic clothing. I believe that clothing has great potential in terms of functionality beyond just being beautiful to wear.

I think a design is successful because it really meets the needs of some people, so successful design is based on the needs of the people.

I think in today's society, it is the responsibility of designers to pay attention to the topic of sustainable development and special groups in society.

I did, and I learnt a lot from these experience.

My sketchbook, mannequin, pen, fabric, scissors.

After completing my studies at the Royal College of Art in the UK, I plan to participate in more design projects that help special groups of people. I hope that my clothing can actually help people.

I am designing clothing for women with ADHD, hoping that the clothing can help them in their lives.

Because after I get off work I can often still hear message reminders from work, which prevents me from completely resting, making me even more tired, and the cycle repeats itself.

I think sustainable development is very important in the process of marketization and commercial production. Therefore, zero-cut design from the source pattern can greatly reduce fabric waste.

I designed a special technique to change the seams of the garments so that the elastic cords and pullable straps can change the silhouette of the garment by pulling.

I did a lot of research on the fast-changing outfits, especially Hussin Chalayan, and I was curious about how other designers achieved it and which techniques they used.

A piece of clothing can be quickly switched from work wear to casual wear, so as to quickly enter the off work state from working state. In this way to bring wearers more comfort and relax.

I have also been paying close attention to adaptive fashion design recently. My school, RCA, also encourages students to pay attention to this field. After participating in the project, I think I should let the people participate in our design. Any design without the people is unreliable.

It is difficult for modern women to completely withdraw from work after work, so I saw this need to design clothing for women who face this difficulty.

I hope to switch between work and rest states by changing between work clothes and casual clothes.I hope that this way I can eliminate the wearer's tension and allow them to truly rest.

I want to work with more women, let them join my designs and express their ideas, and I can improve my designs through their feedback.

This experiment is ongoing and I am still looking for more suitable women to participate in my designs, I need more feedbacks from women to adjust my design.
