About
Chinese-born, New York-based, Zining Ye, is a designer who strives to create a fashion language that juxtaposes chaos with tranquility and maximalism with restraint. Form and textile manipulation are central to her work. Traditional silhouettes are fused with architectonic textiles, and neutral palettes combine with rigid volumes to create collections that are quietly striking. During her studies in the FIT MFA Fashion Program, Zining Ye found a balance between traditional Asian culture and modern expression.
I think old objects are often reminiscent of some special memories. Although the state of things on obsolete photos may be blurred, colors may have faded, and even the photos are no longer complete. These unique flaws remind us of the mood, scent, and story of the moment when we took photos of them. Let us remember those memories that never come to mind during our daily life. When we think about "the value of the past" and "the existing form and meaning of objects". Although those old objects may have already lost their original value or function, and even have been discarded, forgotten, and damaged, from another perspective, they still have reconstruction value, memory value, and aesthetic value. This collection ex- tracts silhouettes from waste film photos with overexposure, virtual focus, and blur.
