Jingxi Lei

With my fine art background, I view garment making as creating wearable art that communicates intimately and responsively with people. Deconstruction of the ever-evolving boundaries and limitations of fashion from the human body and social context are drives for my creation. My designs in BA embrace the harmony of contradictions, inspired by my upbringing, art, music, physics, and philosophy. I aim to create clothing that celebrates the nuanced complexities of individuals - They can be both reserved and outspoken, precise yet spontaneous, sharp yet soft in character… I am also passionate about representing my culture contemporarily through fashion. As someone who grew up in China and moved to Europe, Chinese philosophy like yin-yang deeply influenced my way of thinking and composing. I want to share my perspective on the intangible and in-depth aspects of my culture.
