Description

The collection is inspired by the restraint and self-contradiction of traditional Chinese women. Women were not able to strive for their rights in ancient Chinese society. Even during the Tang dynasty, the golden era of women's rights in Chinese history, women were restricted by patriarchy, rules and social practices. Although the inequitable situation was intolerable and women were eager to seek changes and improvement, they had no choice but to accept and surrender to the unreasonable rules and requests. In my perspective, the traditional Chinese woman is like a beautiful lily but locked in a cage.

This collection expresses a mood of restriction, reminding people to reflect on gender inequality and encouraging women to overcome their self-contradiction and weaknesses.
