Yinghui Maggie Zhou

Collection

VEILED MIST

Drawing inspiration from the concept of "supporting characters,” the collection explores the potential of those often overlooked minor characters in life. These supporting roles play crucial parts in driving the story forward but are frequently unnoticed. Similarly, many ordinary individuals possess remarkable qualities that deserve recognition.

Utilizing primarily gray tones, this collection incorporates materials such as reflective yarn and fabric to subtly enhance details. These unique materials contain reflective elements visible under flashlights, engaging viewers and reinforcing the central concept of the design: to involve people in the garment.

With this collection,

the aim is to assist individuals in discovering the hidden highlights beneath ordinary exteriors and encourage the celebration of their unique value.
