I am Rongxin Hu, a Chinese designer based in London. I have a deep passion for photography and solo travel. The environment in which I grew up and the experiences during travelling have provided a lot of inspiration for my designs. As a third-year womenswear student about to graduate from the London College of Fashion, the past three years of study, especially during my final year, the preparations for the graduation show and internships have given me a deeper understanding of fashion design. This period is not about accumulated industry experience but also cultivated my pursuit of details and time management skills. My design aesthetics are inspired by all things wild, particularly the animalistic nature behind humanity. These inspirations have shaped my unique style. I am passionate about pattern making and skilled at turning extensive research and sketches into thoughtfully designed garments. I believe clothing is not just about appearance but also a medium to evoke thought and release emotions. The graduate collection is ‘The MAMMALS’. As humans, we often overlook the fact that we are also mammals. Alongside our humanity, we possess the wildness of animals. We don various "uniforms" crafted by humanity, following to the rules of human society. However, our inner wildness longs for release. My work illustrates how humans strive to find a balance between their humanity and their animalistic instincts. The constraints of societal rules gradually tame individuals, leading them to lose their uniqueness. My designs blend elements such as rivets, rust, butcher, and lots of archetypes while also emphasizing the use of silk, denim, and leather to highlight the contrast between reason and impulse. By merging the wild with practical, everyday attire, my creations allow us to unleash our untamed emotions through clothing in our daily lives.
