Anni Ren
Technology, Tradition & Organism

The concept of technology exhaustion partly derived from contemporary fashion exhaustively mediated through digital technology, inspires this collection.

Research for the collection was based on computer hardware and software. Dismantled PCs influences the cut and structure, while the compulsive consumption of gaming software pushes the chaotic cyber aesthetic.

To counteract this hyper-cyber frenzy, the collection reflects tradition and organic life. Traditional Chinese garment types are reinterpreted with innovative detailing and the incorporation of organisms such as the unappealing forms of spiders and worms expresses the notion, ‘fun’ and ‘unpredictability’ to apply the idea of fashion as an organic second skin.
