X World Clothing

梅 潘 Clothing Fashion

X World

X World is a conceptual garment inspired by X-ray photographs of insects. The design translates an insect exoskeleton into wearable form, placing layers of shell-like structures on the human body.

After many material tests, a frame of iron wire was combined with silk gauze, a pairing that is both light and flexible.

Temperature Clothing

QuNan Clothing Fashion

Temperature

Color Change is a garment made from temperature-sensitive materials. The fabric changes color when it meets body heat, sunlight or the warmth of another person. Close contact such as a hug therefore becomes visible on the surface of the clothing. The pattern is cut to highlight the structural lines of the garment, and these lines are closed with adhesive tape. The tape does not react to temperature, so it stays fixed while the surrounding fabric shifts in color. The contrast between the two materials makes hidden changes in warmth easy to see.
