Siyun Huang is an interdisciplinary fashion designer, artist and fashion educator based in Beijing, China. Graduated with MA in Fashion Design & Technology (Womenswear) at London College of Fashion and BA at Central Academy of Fine Art. Graduated with MA in Fashion Design & Technology (Womenswear) at London College of Fashion and BA at Central Academy of Fine Art. She holds an MA in Fashion Design and Technology (Womenswear) from the London College of Fashion and a BA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. She graduated from the London College of Fashion with an MA in Fashion Design and Technology (Womenswear) and a BA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Her research is dedicated to exploring transformative design and the ecology of digital fashion to create innovation in the fashion industry, drawing her hybrid avant-garde aesthetic from the symbiotic relationship between people, life, nature, technology and art.
Xiyong’s works include kinetic energy wearable interactive fashion art, digital fashion and sensitive textile systems, etc., and have been exhibited at international fashion art exhibitions, China International Fashion Week, Beijing Fashion Week, GAMMA Young Artist Competition, HEMPEL Awards and other world famous exhibitions. platforms The exhibition featured the China International Young Fashion Designer Competition and the IYDC International Young Designer Competition.
Entering the world of digital fashion was a natural step for Xiyun Huang. In her previous traditional fashion design training in college and in the fashion industry, Xiyun has skills such as cutting, draping, drawing, sewing and many fashion design practices, which are the basis for her effective training in the fashion design process. Design in the digital dimension. She has also observed how fast the fashion industry innovates and how deeply it affects people’s lifestyles. From this, she is acutely aware that the fashion design profession faces unstable, volatile and serious challenges.
Fashion designers now not only design fashionable products or items, but also develop systems that help users better adapt to changing lifestyles. In addition to running his own studio and providing clients with personalized services such as digital art, design consulting and curatorial exchange, Huang Xiyun is also an independent multidisciplinary researcher who delivers lectures, courses and workshops.
Xiyun believes that fashion is a bridge connecting the body and the outside world. In the future, fashion will advocate the improvement of the physical functions of the body and immersion in the participation of multiple senses to help the body better adapt to changes in the environment. External environment and internal emotional needs. Therefore, Xiyun focuses on critiques and reflections on body transformation, technological ethics, and post-lifestyle. Combining an interdisciplinary approach, she creates her fashion artwork with the concept of “wearable organisms” that are changeable, dynamic, and responsive. By integrating computational design and human-computer interaction into fashion design, she tries to call it “clothes”.
Underwater Dwellers, a digital fashion film produced by Huang Siyun Studio and its partner SoftWareSoft Studio, focuses on digital fashion design, virtual human design, and media art. He talks about the surreal future of an expanded symbiosis of people, oceans and marine life in a virtual world and tends to discuss the ethical and philosophical thinking of decentralization and the vision of caring for the ocean. In the film, the future people, dressed in clothes, gradually melt, stick together and grow with each other, and abstract mechanical sea creatures are activated as organs around them to perceive the outside world. How can humans adjust their bodies to environmental changes in order to restore the symbiotic relationship between man and nature lost due to the ecological crisis caused by the overuse of technology?
The digital fashion design created by Huang Xiyong is based on the abstract combination of wetsuits, ocean waves, corals and coral reefs, using parametric design techniques to create some of their outlines and structures, creating the beauty of the “water shape”.
Underwater Inhabitants was launched at SS23 China Fashion Week, an international digital fashion platform, and enabled the use of AR on accessories to capture the public’s attention. Xiyong believes that the rapid development of digital technology and manufacturing not only brings great creative and commercial value, but also has a powerful force to inspire people to rethink our identity, lifestyle and culture, full of humanistic concern.
The Shield series also integrates interdisciplinary fashion design methods and conceptual digital art, conveying design elements such as intangible and tangible, tangible and intangible, generation and generation, black and white, conflict and harmony, and expands the possibilities of Xiyun’s point of view – in China. ancient philosophical theory, the five elements represent metal, wood, water, fire and earth. They are the material laws of the development of this world, and they are necessary. It also reveals the concept of universal law and the culture of the Chinese world. Equality must be common prosperity.
Xiyun’s observation that this precious intangible culture is her own cultural DNA has led her to frequently refer metaphorically to the concept of a symbiotic relationship between man and nature.
In addition, Taiping’s Reality Beyond Reality – Xiqiao Mountain International Fashion Art Exhibition, China is a biography-inspired dynamic interactive fashion piece whose textiles respond to sensor activation to present a realistic deformed surface.
Clothing expresses individuality, spirit, emotions, aesthetics, technology, ethics, etc. An exceptionally closed connection between the inner body and the outside world. It can be said that clothing itself can be considered as a medium and, to some extent, an interface for the transmission of communication. So, start by rethinking the definition of communication from the past to the future. With the development of new technologies, how much new information can a piece of clothing convey? How can the cognitive understanding of the world be improved if fashion is combined with interactive technologies? This kind of thinking demonstrates the difficulty of viewing fashion as a “wearable organism”.
Design elements refer to the traditional Chinese folk art – Lingnan Lion Dance, which expresses the balance between man and nature and embodies the concept of “He” (in Chinese philosophical proverbs means that human life is in high harmony with nature) Man, Nature and Technology . Several electric motors are used to drive the honeycomb textile system, which is pre-programmed to perform the movements. The biodynamic structure provided sufficient flexibility to allow the set of manipulative tissues to act flexibly and resiliently, mimicking the blinking eyes of a dancing lion.
Taiping seeks to connect the worlds of fashion, conceptual art, human-computer interaction technologies, mechanisms and biodynamic structures. This work explores the future ways of communicating through clothing, exploring the potential of textiles’ dynamic interplay as “artificial life” to convey “language”, “emotions” and “feelings”. .(File photo: Kinetic Fashion-the Taiping)
Xiyun was born in a city in southwest China, where the world-famous beautiful mountains and rivers, industry and nature coexist harmoniously. Her past and memories evoke her unique emotions towards water, mountains, metal, etc., as well as her appreciation and reverence for China’s intangible cultural heritage. Xiyun’s work is at the forefront of the times, exploring new technologies and materials, but properly utilizing the relationship between art and technology also requires exploration of the essence of technology ethics and sustainability.
