Children of the Cyborg is a nongendered couture piece investigating post pandemic femininity. Using jellyfish and its self reproducing ability as a metaphor, Weijing created this garment from only one piece of fabric through intricate cutting and draping method, and constructed airy and otherworldly silhouettes without elaborate understructures. This project challenged the notion of femininity in traditional couture, and translated Donna Haraway's fluid cyborg dream through an innovative approach to couture making. The piece was acquired by Cristobal Balenciaga Museum permanent collection.
One of a kind in the world, the venue has become the first large museum of its type dedicated exclusively to a fashion designer. Developed under the tutelage of the Cristobal Balenciaga Foundation, the Museum has accepted the mission of promoting, disseminating and making the most of the significance, relevance, importance and prominence of the brilliant designer himself and of his work in the world of artistic creation in general and ore specifically, of fashion and haut couture. The Museum, in addition to exhibiting more than 3,000 items, seeks to become an international center, involved in education, dissemination and investigation within the area of the fashion couturier.
