Artist's Statement
Ziling Dong is a women’s wear designer whose specialty is finding harmony in contrast and conflict. Delicate insight often leads her into contradictory thoughts, prompting her to strive for a balance between reason and sensibility. Stylistically, she is influenced by the orderliness and fluidity of industrial aesthetics. Through exquisite and structured fabric, a minimalist silhouette, and the flowing divide, a feminine image of hardness and tenderness is created.
About This Collection:
My thesis collection explores women’s slow fashion, focusing on woven materials, flowing structures, elegance, and comfort. The inspiration includes body meridians, anatomy, and creative woven furniture. In a harmonious way, the collection expresses the contrasting beauties of body science, furniture design, and industrial aesthetics. Through a combination of softness and firmness, structural silhouettes, and geometric fluidity, "Harmonious Collision" shows women’s wisdom and grace.
