About Me
Hi, I’m Annabell, a graduate from Shih Chien University
I was have always been inspired by the experience of my loving family and my childhood. I like to use bright colours and interesting details to produce lovely accessories and clothing that brings happiness and joyfulness to the audience. Things may not always go so well, but I tend to always translate the bad things into adorable vibes.
Life is so complex: Please take it easy, enjoy, and be healed by the bright colour. My message is: In order to face your dark side in life, try to accept the imperfect version of yourself. We all have a monster of pain living in our mind, tell me your problems and I'll chase them all away.
INSPIRATION
My initial idea came from the time when my grandpa used to drive me to school and I fell asleep.
Flash back to the time When my grandpa drive me to school... The cradle swings up and down. I wake up in a dream and the monsters open their eyes. They have wrecked the gardens and blocked the blue sky. Up and down, the child is sleeping deeply. Up and down, the dream pitches down slowly. Then I knew, the monster in the nightmare. Was just the wound that I tend to forgot.
Nightmares: Since they are the reflection of tears or trauma or even just a feeling of one day. The little girl would grow up and the sadness would fade out when time goes on. Since then, the bloody and cruel monsters are just like Pokemon. So, don't be scares, things will get cute and fluffy. With this concept I created 6 little monsters along with their own characteristics that present different kinds of hardship in my childhood.
MY WORK
PORTFOLIOS
DETAIL
I used the characteristic shape of six little monsters to turned them into six outfits.
Monster of Shy: Her cheeks flushed when she talked to someone face to face. I made the vest in the shape of faces, and used red and pink to express the emotion of nervous and flushed feelings. Monster of Stare: The staring is just like bullets, endless bombardment. I cut 3 colours of artificial leather and piled them into the shape of eyes. Monster of affection: It comes from the monitor and over concern from my mom. I made 2 pockets on the vest which represent the reading glasses of my mom. Monster of Envy: Tend to be liked by a lot of people, I put herringbones into the sweep of the dress to make it conspicuous. Monster of pride: A sense of pride may stop your steps in advancement. I made the unbalanced vest to show people’s over-concern of gain and loss. Monster of defense: I’m always ready to protect myself because I expect to be criticised or attacked by others. I made a bag in the shape of a sleeve which is in front of my body to protect myself.
Life is so complex; please take it easy, enjoy, and be healed by the bright colours.
