Skin Lift Bra

Skin Lift

Skin Lift is a bra designed to lift loose skin on the abdomen. Hypoallergenic adhesive strips are bonded to hook and loop fastening and are attached inside the garment, which is lined with brushed nylon. The strips are pressed onto the skin, and the shoulder straps are then pulled up to raise the skin to the desired height. The lifted skin looks smoother and the waistline looks slimmer, without surgery. Skin Lift is offered in three sizes, with extensions for the largest size, and the disposable strips are sold in packs of ten.

Nostalgia Moon Wearable Art

Nostalgia Moon

Nostalgia Moon is a fashion collection inspired by the shape and phases of the moon in the night sky. The collection recalls nights of prayer and memories of a grandmother. Circles are added to basic bodice patterns, and flexible boning is placed along the edges of each garment. The boning holds the soft curves of the round moon and gives every piece a three-dimensional form. The looks are draped on a size 4 female dress form and a size 36 male dress form. The collection was developed between August 2020 and May 2021.

Proof of Existence Womenswear

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.

Crash Womenswear

Crash

The prints in the Crash Collection are all about the image destruction of all the files after a computer crash. The designer's memories and works are all turned into colored blocks: Each rectangular with a unique pattern. Meng Ling interpreted these pixmaps into the structure of the garment, projecting the 2-dimensional image onto the 3-dimensional human body. The main point of the design is the dizzying color scheme and the unreasonable placement of images. The essence of glitch is to constantly break and reorganize, and find a perfect balance.
