Bio
Yixiao (V.) Li
V is a fashion design graduate and multimedia artist based in New York. Sensations of dwelling and companionship guide her creative journey, she draws inspiration from her upbringing in Beijing, China and subsequent move to the States. Her work often explores her childhood and earthy creatures as reflections of human traits, challenging traditional garment construction and textile choices. In her recent thesis collection, "Steel Waters," V presents garments combining hard sculptures with soft fabrics, deviating from machine-sewn conventions.
