Proof of Existence

This intense monochrome and the unique eccentric silhouette supported by the construction details offer interesting visual impressions. It's all about how creatively the design language is translated into clothing without sacrificing the construction details or aesthetics, suggesting fresh new looks.

Crash

The prints in the Crash Collection are all about the image destruction of all the files after a computer crash. The designer's memories and works are all turned into colored blocks: Each rectangular with a unique pattern. Meng Ling interpreted these pixmaps into the structure of the garment, projecting the 2-dimensional image onto the 3-dimensional human body. The main point of the design is the dizzying color scheme and the unreasonable placement of images. The essence of glitch is to constantly break and reorganize, and find a perfect balance.

Self Defense Mechanism

Self Defense Mechanism is a menswear collection designed to act as a protective layer for the wearer.

Cotton and nylon mesh are sewn together to form a new texture that echoes the printed pattern. The garments follow standard men's measurements and can be worn as everyday clothing.
