CHICHI ZHIQI JI

The inspiration for the design comes from Joan of Arc and DA JI. Influenced by both Eastern and Western aesthetics, the concept depicts a contradictory but powerful image of women, embracing diversity and empowerment. The silhouettes are inspired by the shape of armor, while the materiality combines the accessories of armor with the fox movements of Daji. The design features include seamlessly incorporating metallic elements from armor into clothing, integrating accessories with garments. The goal is to create wearable designs using metal elements. 

The design style is characterized by "empowerment but elegance," creating a sense of avant-garde elegance and urban sophistication. It features exaggerated silhouettes while emphasizing the beauty of curves and the feminine form. Practicality and comfort are equally prioritized.
