Yiqing Yin

Yiqing Yin is the new rising star of Paris Couture. Her concept of human anatomy gave her the inspiration and motivation to create intriguing garments that enhance a woman’s figure. She manipulates jersey and sheer chiffon with such grace that all the pleating, ruching, and draping in her spring 2012 collection has given birth to breathtaking show stoppers. "Yiqing Yin studied at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, Immigrating from China at age 4, tossed between countries, her clothes have often provided her with a point of reference: "Returning to my clothes, was like living once more within my body and my emotions; I was at home." Her aim has been to create a garment that protects and reinforces, being at the same time a second skin and a supple armour. Examining the dynamic potential of pleats, she imagines structures which are never fixed, shapes that are always in mutation. She sculpts the emptiness around the body with, as a common thread, the search for balance and points of rupture between the flowing zones and the sculpted zones. The modernisation of smocking and the elimination of any order of construction, allows her great room for experimentation. She models loose shapes with a staggering structure, whilst at the same time remaining within the limits of patterned designs, confessing her attraction for a method of creation which is intuitive, a sensory wandering, and the search for voluntary accidents.

Yiqin Yin is such an inspiring designer as she is from Asia, she gives me hope that Asians are equality capable to design such hauntingly beautiful pieces of garment. Yin also used the human anatomy as inspiration for her designs. Among the three designers i have researched, even though she is the least well-known and still a rising star, i think her designs are the most sophisticated and speaks to me the most. I can the feel emotions that were felt when she created it. This is such mind-blowing garments. As my A01 is human ingenuity, i would love to create something like this. She is one of my favourite designers.  I want people to feel how i felt when creating apparels. I want my garments be able to speak to them. Without questioning to finding out what is it about they are able to know it.
