Yiqing Yin I

Amazing structures of layered pleats producing a textured garments resembling coral or magnified detail or organic structures like electron micrographs by designer Yiqing Yin.
'Examining the dynamic potential of pleats, she imagines structures which are never fixed, shapes that are always in mutation. She sculpts the emptiness around the body with, as a common thread, the search for balance and points of rupture between the flowing zones and the sculpted zones. The modernisation of smocking and the elimination of any order of construction, allows her great room for experimentation.'
