About Me
Hello, my name is Zihan Jin and I’m about to be a fashion designer.
I graduated from Donghua University,at school, I learned the structure and design principles of clothing. After four years of my study, I constantly try to use my own design thinking to make creative clothing.
After four years of study, I constantly try to use my own design thinking to make creative clothing.After having a deeper understanding of fashion design, I find that I prefer the fashion design with a sense of composition. I think the structure of clothing is the general existence of skeleton. The overall structure of clothing can indicate the designer's own character and show unique design inspiration. My favorite designers are Martin Margiela and Rick Owens，I am deeply attracted by the surreal shape and transformation,this also prompted me to start my design by deconstructing common things
INSPIRATION
Hats play an important role in our life. I try to design by deconstructing hat shape and clothing.
With the diversification of people's aesthetic, hats have become a magic pen in the design of clothing styling.Now in the design around us with a hat for the combination of design, noting the hat in the creative space of the great potential, I decided to choose a hat form for disassembly, splicing and conversion methods to carry out this work. On the basis of the special bucket-shaped hat , the hat shape is replaced and spliced in the part of the garment by means of breaking, transposition of elements.
On the basis of the plane to three-dimensional hat-shaped design, the clothing as a base to hat-shaped clever changes through the repeated hat to form a cycle.Through the observation of the hat and dismantling, I found the hat as a design element is very interesting point is the hat itself multi-angle shape is very structured, when viewed from a distance, the shape of the bucket hat and the shape of the brim are similar to that of the human body. There are also many new shapes that can be imagined.

DETAIL
Innovative clothing design for fisherman's cap with reconstructed technique.
According to the analysis of interspersed splicing method and dislocation segmentation method, the innovation and continuity of deconstruction techniques are deepened. The two techniques are used alternately on the plane and facade to produce contrast, which makes the garment profile more tension and obtains more effective reconstruction modeling method. In this practice, through the selection of fisherman's hat as a dress element for specific design transformation, in the process of flexible use of a variety of reconstruction techniques, the combination of aesthetic consciousness and a variety of fashion design techniques, innovative design. Generally speaking, reconstruction design is indispensable in the training and practice of design thinking, but no matter what kind of design thinking, designers need to create it through personal ingenuity and personality.
Transformation of structural design is closely related to reconstruction thinking. Making good use of reconstruction design can enrich function and decoration of clothing,and forward-looking artistic.
