Redress Design Award Collection

Yixuan’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘YANXIA’, is inspired by the street corners of the designer’s hometown in Beijing, China, where life gathers in casual and comfortable clothing. The collection features baggy and puffy designs upcycled from textile swatches and reconstructed from clothing samples and secondhand garments such as a terry cotton sweatshirt and knit sweater with elastic. Prints are added by splicing and combining strips of fabric, and an expandable dress hem offers versatility with styling.
