- Artist's Statement
- Yixuan (Apple) Zhao wants to change the fashion industry to be more inclusive. Originally from Harbin, China, she has studied in North America since age 14, and her creative work combines all the cultures she has experienced and her fascination with fashion. With their emphasis on size, gender, and cultural inclusivity, her designs help others discover new identities.
- About This Collection:
- "Seika" raises awareness of the drag community from a fashion design standpoint. The collection is a tribute to alter egos and fantasies. It embodies the spirit of drag performances, as well as the punk movement, the lowbrow, aestheticism, and body hair. Seika pushes the limit of societal norms and gender expression with clothing that can be worn by anyone.
