About X World Облека

X World е концептуална облека инспирирана од рендгенски фотографии на инсекти. Дизајнот го преточува егзоскелетот на инсектот во нослива форма, поставувајќи слоеви од структури налик на школки врз човечкото тело. X World е изработена со кинескиот занает на палатни фенери, техника запишана како нематеријално културно наследство. По многубројни тестирања на материјали, рамка од железна жица беше комбинирана со свилен гас, спој кој е истовремено лесен и флексибилен. Облеката е нежна, но силна, и ја претставува ранливоста како привремена форма на заштита.

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.
