Advising

Jessie grew up in Taiwan. Her capsule focuses on modern nomads who arrive in unknown territories with only bags full of hope. It addresses feelings of exile and nostalgia, common to uprooted people displaced from their homelands. Inspired by legends from Taiwanese tribes and her fieldwork experience, the designer explores the practices of those with “floating roots”. She questions the function of back-packs as a source of strength, security and intimacy, and transforms them into wearable sculptures.
