Jiaqian Shen
BA Fashion Design Innovation
I am a fashion design student exploring silhouette, material, and identity through contemporary womenswear. My practice focuses on the relationship between fabric, form, and craftsmanship, using minimal aesthetics and subtle emotional expression to explore structure in fashion. Through refined tailoring and experimental details, I create designs that balance expression with wearability.
ChaSeY. ShEn Autumn/Winter 2027 collection, This project is inspired by mushrooms and fungi, exploring fashion through their forms, growth, and ecological systems. It draws on their structures, textures, and colors to inform experimental silhouettes, materials, and design approaches, combined with a clean overall aesthetic and structured silhouettes.
Boris Bidjan Saberi Autumn/Winter 2027 collection, titled “Scab & Stitch,” is inspired by a personal injury I experienced in London this September. The healing process from wound to scab to recovery shapes the collection’s narrative, exploring themes of natural healing, time, repair, and connection, expressed through handcrafted details.
Antonio Marras’ Spring/Summer 2027 collection draws inspiration from Edward Bach’s Bach Flower Remedies. This natural healing system consists of 38 flower essences, each associated with a specific negative emotional state. It is believed that these essences can help restore emotional balance and inner harmony through the vibrational energy of plants.
