I think perfection is ugly.
Somewhere in the things human make
I want to see scars,
failure,disorder,distortion.
Yohji Yamamoto

Hyper Generation
what is hyper generation to me?
Candice
To me, hyper generation is a
generation to find our inner side, look
at ourselves,who are you?who am
i?what i am living for?which is the real
me?
you can't doubt,most of time, we
don't know ourselves,we follow the
steps by the world,by someone, by
something.
we try to be perfect, to get appriciate
from people,we try to be perfect,to
prove that we are the best. One day,
you don't know what are you doing.
Why you make the efforts,is that
what"you" want ?or others expect...

Inspiration
- Mix Media
Hyper Generation
Hyper generation,To me.it’s not
future,it’s not now,it’s time to back
to the original,to our heart,to our
soul.
Nowadays,steps are too fast,we are
busy at work ,busy make living.we
follow the world.the development of
the world. from iphone1 to iphone 6,
from simple print to 3d print.everthing
develop so fast.we don’t even have
time to stop and look around.
In fashion world,we keep following the
trend,we try to catch up.we are kind of
lost ourselves. At least I AM.sometimes
i feel i lost myself.i ask my heart,
what is the real me.what is the thing
that i wanna do. jump out of fashion,
maybe we should ask what we wanna
do for the whole life.
So ,for our generation,it’s better to
stop right now, take time to think,to
find out the real ourselves.
Before i’m struggling what i’m gonna do
for final collection.now i don’t confuse
anymore.because i just need to follow
my heart. that’s all.
Basiclly,this is my whole collection’s
inspiration.
It’s really lucky to see this exposition,
not so big,but really interesting colleciton.
all about “mix media”,they play eveything
paper,fabric,paint to creat a incredible
work!
When i look the work which is made of
cotton,use different texture,and kind of 3d
effect. i’m so impressed by this!
I know that what i want to do for final
collection that time. i can imagine the
clothes ,the effect,the feeling when the
model dress it up.
I know the final collection gonna be a
comfortable,interesting,meaningful one.
---back to the original.

Color Page
For my colleciton,i choose the most nature ,basic
colors.black,white,beige,navy blue.
My details:mix media,high collar,longlong sleeves,huge hood,
big volume.Actually i’m really inspirated by yohji yamamoto.he is a designer
that I know he really creates a collection by his heart. each one!he says
words,he expresses his feeling,he thinks in his colleciton.
So when you see his collection, you can feel that he tries to tell you orexpresses
something.that’s my aim as well. i do what i want.i follow my heart.
I use nutural tissue, natural color and natural way to create a collection that is
simple,interesting and meaningful.

This is a high fashion line. From sketch ,pattern
making, draping, knitting,finally become the clothes
that are wearable, all made by hand.
Trough my silhouettes, you can see the original style.
it's my sketch, i just put color on it.Keep original,this
is the theme through my whole collection. Rough
draft style.
My collection, it's inspirated by one fabric
transformation and yohji yamomoto style. i enjoy
the things that keep their original .this is a collection
not perfect, it's rough,it's not neat. but it's the most
essential thing.
I use knitting and fabric transformation to create
my whole collection. knitting by cutted-linen fabric
strips,and it's transformed by strips as well.
So enjoy the show.

who has their dreams, who is brave to catch their
dreams, who is try to be better,who is focus on the

This brand is seperated in two.
one is high fashion.i call it line-1, one product is
rare,10piece for each product,some of them only one
unique piece.it will satisfy the girl want be unique.
this line is more creative,to present the lifestyle.
Next, it's the mass maket line.i call it line-2.lower
price,more wearable.from same inspiration of line-
1.but still focus on the quality ,not quanlity. each
products around 50 pieces.
This is a small studio. for fun, for present the fashion
in my mind. to share the attitude of life.

Inspiration
black black 19-0303tpx
golden orange 31-4304tpx
For my brand, i use my name to be
the brand’s name.
my brand style is lazy,boystyle,casual,ready
to
wear,and full of [ myself ] style.
it’s not only a brand,but also to show a
lifestyle to my client. [ enjoy the life,make
it comfortable].
so we give a big focus on the material that
we choose,it must be good quality and
comfortable,
so the logo design, i care more about the
font, i want to use casual font,like written by
hand,
I tried to use black and white , then i change
to use the golden orange and balck to make
it much more classic.

Sambol
I tried do my signature several times by hand.
I want to creat a unique simble,only from this brand.
My idea is coming from the signature,it’s unique,and with the date and location,
It’s casual ,it’s can put anywhere.and easy to let client to know
when the brand is founded,where it’s come from.
FRONT FRONT SINGLE TRANSPARENT ONEBACK
y brand’s tag consiste of three tags,one of
them is transparent one.
one is the basic tag, my logo,my symble, my brand
concept, the other one, only put my brand logo on it,
to let custmers get to remember it much easier. there
the last transparent one. the design is exactly same
with the first one. to bring different feeling,texture.
