" Cynthia has the tallest tales to tell, may you believe. At the age of 3, her father discovered her immortality in an incident one night in their humble home, America, 1885, where he substituted the chicken for his only daughter in the weekly stew. This meant business, oh yes.
Within the next hour he had set up his own circus, demanding the 3 year old to walk the life as the trapeze artist - 60 feet in the air.
Slowly but surely, she had mastered the art of trapeze, failing and falling every time for 30 years until her moment of grandeur. Sadly, that is where it was too late for the still aspiring father. She had unmistakably fallen in love with her costume. Such pretty colours and glorious textures of the fabric, not to mention a cushier landing for each fall. Where do such pretty things come from? Well I dunno, in such day and age, poor folk gets none. How about she makes her own? The story continues 123 years forward."haidroshru 2008

Thank you :D and certainly, we, ourselves deserve a pat on the back.

This was a summer project, which is for mainly handknitting and exploring the boundaries. I became obsessed with buttons and the way to embellish the yarn with found objects, and I created this outfit. Thank you to Aiko for the photo and thanks to Sohui for modelling.

A 3 weeks projects which we have to create at least 6 pieces of toile made from jersey. My inspiration came from the architectures designed by Santiago Calatrava, thinking mostly with shapes around the body and making it body conscious.
A project using only white cotton and white felt to create an outfit inspired by Anthony Gormley, and his sculptures. The project title was White Project - Traditional Borderline.
A knit project based on the idea of metamorphosis, inspired by an illustration by Tracy Emin, and I used the idea of abortion and pregnancy to create these two pieces.
Inspired by the bird's eye view of city structure, an 8 look jersey and knit collection was created. This collection is dedicated to detailing through the use of lines and drapes the material creates around the body. The focus of details are enhanced by the simplicity of the black and white.
Using only biro, these are illustrations created within my everyday life. When on the bus, in a restaurant, and any other places. These are the first series of illustrations in such style.
A piece created under the influence of the actual fabric. Using light weighted Jersey, along with a new technique learnt, creating this piece.
Another piece of garment inspired by the London signature Red Telephone Box.

Inspired by a piece of installation art, using fabric to create a piece of 'exploding' garment. Photos credit to Peter Ashworth.
Using the pattern of a typical Medieval dress, opposing to the figures of modern stereotypical Models (drawn with silk dye on the skirt panel). This is a piece with my thoughts on the changes of the 'Ideal Body Type'.
A piece drew with Acrylic paint and Oil Pastel, creating a 'Cut-and-Paste' effect
