Lu Jingyi

Fashion designer, graduated from Politecnico di Milano and actually working in Milan. After many years of experience in Italy, the most important thing I have learned is the respect of tradition. That guided me to start my research and creations related to craftsmanship. I believe that a good design must have an identity, and identity comes from tradition.

Semi-finished The Moth

I am attracted to the beauty of unfinished products: the traces of a needle on an unfinished embroidery painting, a silkworm moth emerging from its cocoon before the silk yarn spinning process is complete... moments that normally cannot be perceived when examining the finished products. With a purpose of being “full” and “smooth”, traditional silk embroidery paintings intend to hide the stitching trace. But in my design, silk embroidery is a material that can be used to create a contrast with transparency and opacity. Different stitching techniques can create new textile surfaces. The moth has been stitched in to the silk with this concept in mind and has been kept transparent to the resin. In this way “semi-finished” moments become eternal.
