About X World Apģērbs

X World ir konceptuāls apģērbs, kura iedvesmas avots ir kukaiņu rentgena fotogrāfijas. Dizains pārvērš kukaiņa eksoskeletu valkājamā formā, izvietojot uz cilvēka ķermeņa čaulai līdzīgu struktūru slāņus. X World ir izgatavots, izmantojot Ķīnas pils laternu amatniecības tehniku, kas iekļauta nemateriālā kultūras mantojuma sarakstā. Pēc daudziem materiālu testiem dzelzs stieples karkass tika apvienots ar zīda gāzi – savienojums, kas ir gan viegls, gan elastīgs. Apģērbs ir smalks, tomēr izturīgs, un atklāj ievainojamību kā pagaidu aizsardzības formu.

Operation Flow: 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.
