Symbiosis
Keyin Wang
The theme for the collection is “SYMBIOSIS” , it communicates that when humans continue to produce, use, and discard objects, in the limited survivable space on the earth, we not only need to consider the way with other living things, but also have to consider competing with these non-living creatures for the same living space.In this case, I hope to create a symbiotic way to find a balance between objects and life. Give life to clothes, make it parasitic on the human body, and become one.

I mainly present the entire series in two ways. First, I look for the most widely used industrial materials in our lives: plastic products and silicone products. It is considered to be the material that best reflects the foreign body and artificial feeling of industrial products for me. After that, plastic thread and silicone tube are selected, and then the traditional crochet technique is used to simulate the diversity of biological forms.Second, women’s bra has developed so far, it is a kind of protection and restraint for body, it also grows on the body just like all organism need nourishment from the host. I deconstructed the traditional shape of the bra to make it more biological, and then used the crochet technique to increase its texture. In addition, I also used a lot of rough rib knitting to achieve a better shaping effect. Finally, I used uniform techniques and materials to make masks and shoes to emphasize the theme of symbiosis.

Artist Statement
I always pay attention on the connection between people and environment, because I believe that as a fashion designer, it not only about dressing people become elegant, it also about the relationship between body, clothes, and surroundings. The clothes should become a language to express its idea and function positively, it is able to communicate with body and world.The richness of usable materials and the diversity of media provide more possibilities for clothing design. Therefore, the fabric will not be only media to construct the garment, how to merge different materials will be the most interesting and challenging part. I enjoy the style of hermaphrodite, I think this style allows both men and women to wear it, while retaining
the characteristics of men and women, which is more inclusive.
