Waking Lions, COSMO and VOGUE+ China Publication Work
Fashion Costume Design | Lion Dance Costume
Oct. 2022 – Jan. 2023

·Waking Lions, are selected by Vogue + TGIF January 2023 Column, COSMO October 2023 Column. Inspired by the traditional art of Lion Dance (舞狮) in South-eastern China,

Waking Lions (醒狮) are inspired by the traditional art of Lion Dance (舞狮) in South-eastern China. Fascinated by the dynamic performance of the lion dancers and the powerful momentum simulated by the decorations dancing in the air, I think of the symbol of our country, a waking lion.
By extracting the structural modelling of the bamboo weaving craft of the lion’s head, referring to the rhythmic movement during the lion dance, I designed the special headwear and tassels to give a dynamic swing when walking.
Fabrics are chosen from a variety of floral lace, patterns derived from the herbal pattern of Tang Dynasty, on the head for a reproductivity of Chinese tradition.
