HUANG Jiaqi   Fashion Design 


黄佳琪         服装设计




I consider myself both an artist using clothing as a medium of expression and a fashion designer communicating artistic concepts. I enjoy exploring topics in depth within my areas of interest, which gives my projects an interconnectedness.

After discovering the experiences of women in childbirth and their postpartum sequelae, I delved into understanding their psychological changes and realised the constraints imposed by societal gender roles. In response, I created garments designed to simulate the experience of their ailments, intending to raise awareness of these conditions through educational means. Additionally, I engaged in reverse thinking—pondering the hypothetical scenario of men possessing the ability to conceive and bear children in the future. This exploration led me to the creation of the video piece titled Reproduction. Expanding upon this project, I further investigated how universal gender stereotypes influence individuals' perceptions of gender, inspiring a series of designs aimed at unveiling the concealed physical attributes dictated by societal norms.

In another experimental project, Life without Boundaries, I drew inspiration from JaeRhimLee's “infinite longevity garment.” Fascinated by this concept, I embarked on cultivating mushroom sculptures on mannequins. Observing the organic growth process of these sculptures sparked the idea of integrating this natural state with clothing. Ultimately, I developed a project that mirrored the continuous expansion of mushroom mycelium, seamlessly blending with the human body.


我将自己视为以服装为载体的艺术家、传达艺术概念的服装设计师。我非常喜欢在感兴趣的领域做延伸性思考,这使得我各项目作品中充满连接性。

当我关注到产妇这个群体后,了解了产后后遗症,在深入了解产妇的心理变化后,发现他们的思维被社会性别中所扮演的社会角色所捆绑,于是我创造出了能够体验病症的服装,希望用科普的方式让大家了解这种病症。并且对这一问题我采取了反向思考——如果未来男性也能具备怀孕的能力,身体结构的变化会对其性别认知产生变化吗?基于这样的思考我创作了影像作品《繁衍》。随后,我在此项目的基础上延伸探讨对性别的普遍固有印象对人类性别认知的界定的影响,以此为灵感创作出一些列服装设计,寻找社会规范下隐藏的身体属性。

在我的另一个服装实验项目《生命-无边界》,灵感来自于JaeRhimLee的无限寿衣,我对这个项目非常感兴趣,于是我培养了关于蘑菇的雕塑,随着雕塑的自由生长,我发现了生命与身体之间的新的联结性。我想将这种状态和服装进行联系,于是我尝试将蘑菇培养转移到人台上,最后,从蘑菇菌丝生长不断和身体融合这个方向制作了我的服装项目。
