Fashion: xiao xiao dong

xiao xiao dong is chinese fashion designer who presented this collection of angular and somewhat graphic clothing at her central saint martins graduation show in 2008. Xiao Xiao Dong takes body distortion to a whole new level. Previously a fine art student, Dong graduated with a BA in Fashion Print from Central Saint Martins earlier this year, and is causing quite a stir with her disproportionate silhouettes. Incoporating printed fabrics within rectangular frames, the experimental Chinese designer creates an eccentric universe of wildly exaggerated shapes and child-like prints. Illusory trousers are printed on skirts, while jackets and shirts are topped off with squared shoulders. Currently applying for an MA, Dong is determined to develop these ideas as much as she can before starting her career in fashion.
