Pei-Wen was inspired by the multiple patterns created by the polygons in a tangram puzzle to create geometric zero-waste patterns for her 2021 Redress Design Award collection, ‘Tangram Club’. Upcycled from sample manufacturing waste, the result is a feminine, voluminous collection made for multiple body types with multi-wearing options. Pei-Wen designs the collection with disassembly in mind for the end-of-life to further extend the life of the textiles through assembly into a new style.
This collection debuted in the Redress Design Award grand final runway show in Hong Kong. Ultimately, it won the Runner-up Prize and opened up the valuable opportunity for Pei-Wen to receive mentorship from Orsola de Castro, the co-founder of Fashion Revolution.
