Yuxin Zhang is a diversified fashion designer who is committed to combining fashion, art, biology, society and technology. For her, the application of new materials has a special emotional value. She perfectly applies new materials to fashion design, endowing it with fresh vitality. Due to her love for fashion design and her long-term exploration in this field, she has deeply thought about the stories and emotions generated by people and fashion products. Fashion can affect the overall atmosphere of people and has certain practical value. It can also exist without form as "portable art", with aesthetic and artistic value. In a fast-paced society where new things are constantly emerging, some social status quo is excavated, and in the era of rapid technological development, new materials and social reflections are presented through the medium of fashion, allowing viewers to enter a situation, in order to bring more philosophical and social thinking to the fashion industry.
