 For Meiqi, fashion is a language that can explore her relationship with the society.

In this rapidly developed society, life changes in every second. People sometimes feel confused because of social development or conflicts. She is trying to explore a methodology about how to look at society and express her attitude towards it through clothing. Meiqi strongly believe that the inclusiveness of fashion allows it to be used as a means to demonstrate and even solve this confusion.
