About
Kiki Wanjing Zuo graduated from Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) Fashion design MFA, specializing in blending high-tech elements, biomimicry, and reconstruction into ready-to-wear fashion. Her work explores abstract, ethereal concepts inspired by nature, architecture, and futuristic aesthetics. Defined by her Nouveau Ethereal and Undulating Dynamism styles, Kiki combines intricate fabric manipulation, innovative technology, and fluid yet structured designs. She employs 3D printing, optical illusions, and biomimetic structures to push the boundaries of wearable art. Kiki has collaborated with GAP X Balenciaga, NIKE, and Blizzard, showcasing her ability to merge craftsmanship, futuristic techniques, and storytelling. Her work redefines contemporary fashion through an artistic and technological lens.
Precognitive is a collection inspired by my recurring precognitive dreams—visions of the future that have shaped me artistically in ways beyond explanation. As my graduate thesis, this project seeks to materialize these elusive moments through fashion. By translating dreamlike imagery into garments, I explore the interplay of blurred outlines, ethereal textures, and fleeting movement. Utilizing 3D printing, organza, and knitwear, I capture the hazy forms and luminous contrasts of my visions. The collection harmonizes surreal aesthetics with commercial viability, bridging artistry and wearability.
