Client's Name

Self-Initiated Project

Country / Region

United Kingdom

This project has its origins in the cultural roots of China's ethnic minorities.
Through an in-depth study of Mulao traditional crafts, costumes, and symbols, I discovered that fashion can be a powerful bridge between the cultural heritage of our ancestors and the contemporary world.
As a descendant of the Mulao people, I carry a sense of responsibility deep in my heart to guard and reinterpret my ethnic identity.
I hope that by transforming traditional patterns and silhouettes into contemporary designs, the Mulao culture will continue to speak out in a gentle but powerful way, to be seen and understood in these times.
