Nostalgia Moon

The collection Nostalgia Moon, designed by Chelsea Shin, was made to keep a promise with her grandmother, but that promise could not be kept. In 2021, she started to design the collection by recalling herself praying for the peace and well-being of her grandmother on the moon in the night sky. The most essential element of her design was adding circles and curves to the basic bodice patterns and using flexible boning to the edges of each garment to emphasize the softness of the round moon that she captured every night. Her garments were designed in 3 dimensions as if they were a round moon.

Proof of Existence

The colors and symbolism of the rainbow flag were the inspiration for this ready-to-wear collection. In addition to their design details such as box pleating and shirring, each powerful look also has its hand-made pendants and beads attached to the fabrics creating textures. This intense monochrome and the unique eccentric silhouette supported by the construction details offer interesting visual impressions. It's all about how creatively the design language is translated into clothing without sacrificing the construction details or aesthetics, suggesting fresh new looks.

Ethereal

This collection is named Ethereal, interpreted as a Sprite living in an Ethereal world. This collection adds innovative details to the traditional bridal dress-making process, such as choosing silk, tulle, and lace fabrics, and adding creative embroidery patterns on the basis of the fabrics. The appearance of the dresses used are maintaining the formality of the traditional wedding, but it interacts with the designer's style in details, such as creative uses of fabrics to make the dresses reflect exaggerated silhouettes or the combination of silk and tulle increases the hazy look.

Sense Move

Inspired by a famous choreographer - Yin Mei’s wise words “I can create an architecture space using my joints, which is already telling a story”, Sense Move Costume is a geometrical kinetic sculpture folding following along with the movement of the body. It communicates sensitively through the body movements of the dancers, and enhances the emotional transmission between the dancer and the audience. The different light effects express the costume’s emotions by the pressure sensor; for instance, a slow fade is breathing, and a flash conveys excitement.
