ma ke

ma ke
chinese fashion designer ma ke graduated from the suzhou institute of silk textile technology in 1992.  wu yong is ma ke's third label.  for the past 10 years, ma ke, together with her husband and business partner has been a running a successful fashion house that creates and markets the labels 'mixmind' and 'exception.'  the title 'wu yong' translates to 'useless'.  ma ke is known in china for her silent, organic and reflexive clothing that is more creative and experimental in shape. confronted by the local clothing industry with its cheap, homogenising mass-production and poorly paid workers whose skill is not valued, and by a fashion scene lacking local aesthetic influence and dominated by foreign labels, she dedicated herself to developing her ‘useless’ ideas.


dude, this shit is insane!  china isn't the first place i think of for fashion like this... really amazing.  more info/images at designboom and the designers site - http://wuyonguseless.com/
