This is a menswear collection, which takes inspiration from reincarnation. The designer thinks she was a bird without legs that can only fly and fly, travelled from one dimension to here and landed in the wilderness where she died. Then she became a human in this life as a wanderlust searching for her soul in the wilderness. The collection has applied hand paintings, embroidery and fabric deconstruction, which depict the landscape in minimalist and traditional Chinese landscape painting styles. It reveals the blend of art and fashion.
