Latex, silicone, mesh, and cast rubber? China-born, London-based designer Xiao Li has garnered countless awards for her insanely inventive designs and materials, and we're not surprised. Fresh out of the Royal College of Art, Li questions form and shape, playfully manipulating garments with the eye of a fashion designer and the hand of a sculptor. For Fall/Winter 2014, the 3-D nature of her garments shines through: On one sleeveless vest, the studs and zippers of a classic perfecto are cast in cobalt blue rubber. On another jacket, a traditional chunky knit is joined with futuristic honeycomb mesh in a time capsule-ready pastiche. Talk about mixed media—this is wearable art.
