Epidermic Folds

Born in China and resident in Paris, Yiqing Yin’s work reveals an exceptional approach to fashion. "Reintegrating my clothes, I live anew in my body and my emotions; at once a second skin and armour.” By exploiting folded fabric in all its capacities, she creates voluminous transformable structures. The space around the human body is sculpted; all hierarchical construction is abolished to provide latitude for continual experimentation. An intuitive way of working allows each creation to find a new route, a new identity.
