Silk Menagerie

By transforming extinct or endangered species into a more life-like and wearable form, the

creator wishes to bring up people’s attention to protect these species. All animals and plant

figures are composed with a traditional embroidery technique, Xiang Embroidery, which

the designer was taught by her grandmother. Now its value is under attack by modern

technology. As the heir of this embroidery craft, the designer feels it is her duty to present

the beauty to more people before people lost the chance to appreciate it.
