In the eyes of Kejia, architecture and fashion garments have always had a special relationship, as they both surround and protect the space of our physical body. In the beginning of her project, titled " Architectual skin", Kejia was inspired by Frank Gehry's architecture creations, especially the way she manipulates the shape of window, and the curve lines she utilises in some of her designs.
Kejia thought she could recreate these elements in fashion textile, as she sees fashion and architecture sharing the same purpose: to provide protection for our physical body. The only difference is that one is made out of bricks and tiles, while the other of threads and fabrics. As a starting point, Kejia breaks one single piece of fabric into a large number of much small pieces in different shapes, and reconstructing them into a new form. From this, she gradually developed two unique textiles which she subsequently use as key fabric in her collection.
All the pieces in this collection of hers, are extremely colourful, with a strong sense of contrast, as Kejia believes colour forms the main driver in a person's mood. Given how modern living space is largely constructed out of small and greyish living space made out of dry concrete, Kejia hopes her colourful architectural based collection would enlighten the eyes of her audiences.
