Line Ch is a thai born, Paris based recent graduate from Esmod Lyon with an award winning collection in 2011. Growing up in Bangkok surrounded by the traditional psychology of religious beliefs meant that fashion was not her initial dream but she was always intrigued by the complexity of pattern draping and textile creation. She bought herself to Europe to study, first in Brussels as a student of Fine Arts and then in France. Her graduate collection is an experimentation of the evolution of human mentality; vision coming from her ancestral beliefs and abstract storytelling mixed with her obsession in dark/bleak electronica music and David Lynch’s films. She experiments with sculptural lines, paper-cut volumes and classic patterns contrasting technical materials such as spacer and latex with poetic and natural ones such as silk muslin and organza. The inspiration for her collection comes from working with atmospheres and exploring the sensibility of nontraditional materials; creating a performance through graphical textures, visual movements and mind-body connections reflected by the details which protray anatomical deformation and second skin. In her pieces we can particularly grasp an eerie ambiance, though the pieces remain wearable. Line's concept presents a reinterpretation of ‘normal’ reality regarding human emotional energy and transferring this as an effective message to people through her work.
