On and off court work lately 🎾 At 11, I told my mother I wanted to quit tennis—unable to give myself permission to grow and get better. Reconnecting with the sport over the years has been a quiet unfolding, like the echo of a tennis ball through my childhood TV, a memory that has lingered throughout my childhood. Here’s to the tennis journey, then and now. And a glimpse of a hand-built ceramic racquet I made, part of a series where memory, identity, and culture are shaped in clay.
Beta worn two ways for @arcteryx - an iteration of the beta jacket, describing the versatility and flexibility of the garment. Shot by @smallmediumlee and worn by @jinleebaobei
Taking the Beta Jacket’s highly adaptable Gore-Tex hardshell to create a range of versatile looks for @arcteryx Converted from its original state, constructed, then styled - featuring a strapless, convertible dress.
Swipe for a quick croquis I sketched as a response to the project brief which was meant to highlight the jacket’s multitalented nature. Croquis always bring me memories of Parsons, carrying a big ass portfolio case, and hating studio class. Ultimately I dropped out of Parsons due to first generational guilt and thoughts of what I “should” do career wise. I later found myself at NYU and though I didn’t graduate from fashion school I’m grateful that my path was always a clear one. Who else here has experienced first generational guilt? And how humbling it is to get onto the other side of that and land exactly where you were meant to be. Photos by the always lovely @smallmediumlee Modeled by the talented @jinleebaobei
