DISCIPLINE: FASHION DESIGN
CAREER AREA OF INTEREST: FASHION DESIGN and STYLE
BIO: Imperfection by Yueying Zhang (Zoey) is a unisex collection inspired by the designer’s childhood experience as a dancer whose body could never meet society’s rigid standards. Centred on the theme of “aesthetic deformity,” the collection critiques society’s obsession with standardised success and educational models that overlook genuine talent and personal interest.
Using unconventional materials and exaggerated silhouettes, the garments embody the tension between societal ideals and individual limitations. Through deconstruction, bold proportions, and tactile textures, the designs convey struggle, resilience, and the journey toward reclaiming one’s authentic self. Imperfection asks: What is true perfection, and what does it mean to live only to satisfy others? It is a call to reject perfectionism and embrace self-compassion.
