Yi

I would like to describe my collection as a voyage to rural ethnic China. Where I come from has been described as the lost horizon as mentioned in James Hilton’ famous novel from 1933. My collection is full of colourful textiles and fabrics that play with the traditional silhouettes of specific chinese ethnic groups such as Yi and AXi group. This collection should invigorate your curiosity into distant lands that sometimes seem like light years away.

Accessories include headbands and an ornate headpiece. The background features a grey gradient with faint ancient script, smoke-like clouds, and a large central red and black calligraphic character, with reflections of the figures visible at the bottom.
