Redress Design Award Collection
Xue’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Xiapu · Abundant Wind and Blooming Flowers’, honours the cultural heritage of fisherwomen from Xiapu Village in Fujian, China, wearing flower crowns. The collection is made using zero-waste patterns and three-dimensional cutting. The garments are designed to be worn in multiple ways, for different occasions, to enhance their longevity. Snow incorporates seashells collected from the village by laser-cutting and sewing them onto twisted end-of-roll factory fabrics, and infuses the designs with reactive dye digital printing, which reduces water and air pollution.
