SFT student HUI Hei-yan's project 'I am rooted, but I flow'.
Hei-yan's concept was further inspired by the infinity mirror design proposed by a School ofDesign (SD) student for IC’s installation project earlier this year.
Congratulations to student Hui Hei-yan from the School of
Fashion and Textiles (SFT), whose project named "I am rooted, but I
flow," was featured in the PolyU Fashion Show 2024 and ultimately awarded
the Scholarship of Creativity by the HKFDA.
Hei-yan developed a concept that combines solid and fluid
illusions to represent the ideas of roots and flow. This concept was tested at
IC using various materials to create a visual impact. Hei-yan's concept was
further inspired by the infinity mirror design proposed by a School of Design
(SD) student for IC's installation project earlier this year. The final design
featured laser engraving on both fully reflective and reciprocal mirrors to
visualize different physical phases. To further enhance the contrast between
solid and fluid elements, we proposed a simple metallic mounting solution to
Hei-yan to assemble the mirrors on a soft leather body. This approach resulted
in a better contrasting visual effect of her design. Encouraged by this
success, Hei-yan developed an additional design for her collection. She finally
won the award at the PolyU Fashion Show 2024 and was shortlisted for the
upcoming Hong Kong Young Designers' Contest.
Hei-yan is currently using a project base at IC to further develop her design. She is shortlisted in the coming Hong Kong Young Designers' Contest.
