Entry Description

MAY 9891 is based on the Tiananmen Square Protest that happened in 1989 in China. It was the first time Chinese people have fought for their freedom and liberty. In order to memorialize and inherit the boldness from that generation, the designer created this collection by utilizing blurry images of her peers representing the current generation in comparison with strong and masculine silhouettes. Moreover, the designer invited models from different races and genders to display this collection is aiming to convey the message not just to Chinese young people but also young people in general.
