Camille Li is a multidisciplinary designer based in Shenzhen, China, and the New York City area – as well as a part-time professional astrology consultant. Her areas of interest and practice include crocheting, macrame braiding, ruching, machine knitting, hand knitting, and modern astrology. Growing up in three cities allowed her to encounter people from all different cultural backgrounds and disciplines. Most of her collections are inspired by the stories that she collected during the astrological consultations. Deeply influenced by the Western and Oriental ideology, her storytelling often raises ethical questions through various textile-based approaches. She is interested in exploring topics that are all around us, but what we are afraid to discuss.

This collection marks Peiyang's inaugural foray into the realm of ruching technique experimentation. In her artistic journey, she has explored various pathways, including macrame-braiding, machine knitting, hand knitting, and crochet, employing these methods to craft her unique artworks. Additionally, the collection showcases the exquisite art of ruching, a highly popular sewing technique embraced by the fashion industry. Peiyang skillfully employed this technique to add dimension and texture to her designs. Peiyang initiated the creative process by sketching her inspirations using pencil drawings. She further enhanced these sketches through Photoshop. Subsequently, she meticulously ruched a diverse array of fabrics using different types of elastics. Peiyang demonstrated her expertise by applying ruching both along the straight grain and at biased angles, achieving captivating effects. The fabric choices encompass a wide range, including velvet, satin, silk, and cotton, each contributing its unique qualities to the collection.
