The project originated from my observations of everday life, such as the street culture of men's dress on the streets, bespoke tailoring, and
stereotypical clothing. In the research of the project, I started from my cultural background and investigated Chinese street photography from the
1990s to modern day street photography on my own mobile phone. The Beijing Bikini that appears in the project is a typical street culture outfit,
exploring stereotypical 'masculinity'. In the design of the project, I wanted to express a blend of elegance and roughness. A certain element of
roughness allows for a kind of freedom in dressing ; one which should not insist on changing or be blindly criticised. Maintaining an elegant balance
and the originality of the street is a key component of this project.
