I’m Yufan, a menswear designer from China. I have influenced by the life experiences. From the experience of living in several different countries, I have deeply felt about the industrial development of the modern society, and its impact on the natural environment. While technological advancement has brought countless benefits to humanity, the problems it solves also create problems.

My works focus on the relationship of humans to society and nature, and is conducted from a post-humanist perspective. I often take inspiration from artists, music or architecture during the research phase and design different forms of visual experiments in conjunction with my subject matter. I am committed to developing my unique patternmaking methodology from the clues of my experiments, and research further about how anatomy and deconstruction ideas could help with pattern-making. Especially for Menswear, innovative ideas and joint pattern cutting are crucial. These visual experiments helped me to develop silhouettes, structures, patterns and technical details etc. In the “Elysium of Artificial Extension” project, I have constructed a wearable installation by iron wires, umbrella skeletons, wood strips and fabric. This experiment helped me with the development of my pattern methodology, and informed the unique looks for the collection. I have transformed the post-humanism concept into a visual experiment, and the garments presented them in a manner of neo clothing format in the future society.
