Fare well, Cai Wei Apparel Atelier

This is the apparel atelier I worked before I came to New York, 

Due to some issue, my former boss decide to close the store,

Glad for her because now she can spend all her time to buddha,

but part of my heart felt empty, this is the place where I started

before store closed, my former boss gave me all her thread, fish bones,

zippers, buttons and etc.....

I'll keep them as my pleasure and remember everything happened here!

Such a blank space

Process & Skill of fashion, Project one & two: book of imperfect beaut

-First Week Project-

The first week of process & skill: fashion class was to make a book,
we can use any idea/material we want, as long as it is a book and with the topic "imperfect beauty"

My concept is to show lady's emotion, no matter how pretty you are or how well you dress,
people can always ignore your beauty if your emotion is properly.

-Second Week Project-

With the same concept (Emotion) but made a book with certain format, and transform our
idea into a 32 pages book.

Look what I found in Flea Market

In the beginning, the only thing that bothers me is what to wear Lol, here's some option...

Then thx to Thomas's idea, found a military jacket that my sister bought for me few years ago, 

paired with black waxed jeans and patent lace up. Looks appropriate and super slim lol
