A More Natural Self

Today, people are paying increasing attention to self-expression. The relationship between “clothes and body” is no longer a superficial one of mere coverage and decoration, but a deeper reflection of existence itself. Each person’s clothing becomes a unique manifestation of their inner spirit, professional identity, aesthetic attitude, and even the pulse of the times—forming a moving declaration of the self.

Inspired by art historian Wu Hung’s Women’s Space in Painting, Edition 28 draws upon traditional Chinese aesthetics to create a fluid space between “virtuality” and “reality,” “being” and “nothingness.” Rather than seeking total coverage, it embraces the harmonious coexistence of the three concepts: white space, Qi, and Between.

By carving out white space, the body is allowed to breathe. Soft fabrics are chosen to guide the flow of Qi, enabling the spirit to move freely. The concept of Between is constructed to protect the mystery and dignity of the body amidst moments of imminent separation. The aim is for clothing to offer a rich sense of existence—deeply rooted in the body yet transcending its physical form. In styling, the silhouette appears full and heavy, but in reality feels light, relaxed, and strongly enveloping—allowing a more natural texture to emerge and be expressed.
