Design Description: The collection draws inspiration from the myth of "Nüwa Mending the Sky," blending the mystique of traditional mythology with modern fashion design through garment craftsmanship. In Chinese mythology, Nüwa’s act of repairing the heavens represents the primordial blueprint of symbiosis between nature and humanity, which resonates with the richness of the reddish-brown color palette. Two key aspects are emphasized:
1. Mythological Element Design – Mythological symbols are outlined on the garments, creating a narrative-driven design.
2. Translation of Natural Emotions –
· Persimmon Dyeing: Cloud-dyeing with natural persimmon juice conveys a philosophy of sustainability.
· Openwork Design: A translucent texture metaphorically suggests transitions and intervals.
· Textural Design: Embodies the rejuvenation of all things.
