Welcome to my page! My name is Yinghui Zhou. I graduated with a BFA in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design in May 2024. Located in New York. Born in Suzhou, China, I moved to California at 12 years old. With influences from both Eastern and Western cultures, I am fluent in Mandarin and English.
During my free time, I am constantly trying to find new challenging logic. I also love to play volleyball, walk around the City, read novels, and watch TV Dramas.

ABOUT
As a fashion designer, such insights, like the ones I had on my stroll, lead me to a more profound investigation that involves analyzing the interrelationship between wearable garments and human bodies that centers on transforming conventional garments into pieces that can be activated to respond to stimuli.
Through my work, I strive to not only inspire but also engage with and stimulate my audience. Fashion was one of the design media that linked me to the relations of materials and how that connects with people’s movement. As a designer, I am intrigued by how wearable objects interact with people and explore how fashion can empower individuals to express themselves while communicating with others through the relationships between the garment and the body.
By utilizing modern technology in my art and design, I aspire to foster a sense of belonging and connection with my audience, crafting works that are both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating. I love to try all kinds of new materials such as 3d printing, biomaterials, and sensors that offer more angles to transform my ideas and offer new levels of interactivity and engagement with audiences. I believe that especially in the current world, designers carry a responsibility to create in an accessible, sustainable, and ethical manner. Among them, I aim to contribute to a more comprehensive and inclusive industry, while simultaneously evoking the emotions and narratives of humanity that play an essential role in fashion and design.
