About X World Klesplagg
X World er et konseptuelt plagg inspirert av røntgenfotografier av insekter. Designet oversetter et insekts eksoskjelett til bærbar form, og plasserer lag av skalllignende strukturer på menneskekroppen. X World er laget med det kinesiske palasslykt-håndverket, en teknikk som er oppført som immateriell kulturarv. Etter mange materialtester ble et rammeverk av jerntråd kombinert med silkegas, en sammensetning som er både lett og fleksibel. Plagget er delikat, men samtidig sterkt, og fremstiller sårbarhet som en midlertidig form for beskyttelse.

- 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.
