About
Yiduo Liu is a New York-based fashion designer. She is pursuing a BFA in Fashion Design at Parsons The New School of Design.
Her design language is easy to identify, and she created a series of collections about sustainable textile design. Based on her Chinese cultural background, her design style show her cultural identity with dedicated colorful fabrics.
Yiduo Liu uses some original and environmentally friendly materials, such as biodegradable plastics and waste fishing nets collected from the ocean to create collections. At the same time, rich colors are also one of the significant characteristics of her works. She is good at using yarn stacking and believes that stacked yarns symbolize the balance of ink and yin and yang in Chinese culture. Yiduo Liu will also use fish bones to create shapes that are separated from the body to redefine the relationship between clothing and the body but will use jersey fabrics to ensure a comfortable wearing environment.
Bright colors and dancing shapes are significant features of her works.
thesis: taoism follows nature
Taoism Follows Nature 道法·自然 Man patterns himself on the operation of the earth; the earth patterns itself on the operation of heaven; heaven patterns itself on the operation of Dao; Dao patterns itself on what is natural. My thesis topic is Taoism follows nature, which means Dao operates in accordance with the natural conditions of all things. This idea first appeared in the book Laozi, according to which “natural” means the natural state of things. Dao creates and nurtures everything, yet it does not command anything. I will combine nature and Taoism together through nature. I hope that my clothing can convey such thoughts, as well as the unique cultural aesthetics of the Chinese.
