Looking Outwards: 03

Mingjing Lin’s parametric modeling in terms of fashion is fueled by her curiosity of the human body. Lin has created her own definitions of parametric thinking and design, which both pull inspirations from the human body: she refers to parametric thinking 2.0 to an “emphasis on the awareness of the human body,” where she creates parametric design in terms of it. Lin’s body-oriented parametric design is inspirational to me because it promotes inclusivity through an abnormal medium. The dynamic body, compared with the fluidity that is parametric modeling creates a new approach for fashion. As the industry is evolving to include body types that are beyond the standard, there is a greater need for more inclusive fashion. Through parametric modeling, fashion can be much more accessible to the masses.
