Madame Butterfly

In this work, the fashion artist chooses printed blue calico to interact with fabric-made butterflies and creates the silhouette of bouffant gown like a birdcage. Meanwhile, the fashion artist creatively matches a female chef’s apron with a ball gown. The work is also accompanied by several different eras of chi-pao. There are some opposites in the work: Masters and servants; lady and female chef; freedom and imprisonment; Chinese hand-woven cloth with Western crinoline; hand dyeing and laser engraving; plane and three dimensional; past and present; yin and yang; fiction and reality. These seemingly irrelevant opposites show the harmony between each other. And the co-existence between the opposites has been the main theme that author desperately wishes to express through the works.
