In the close-up shot, white yarns are knitted together through a computerized machine, revealing the delicate texture and exquisite pattern of the fabric. Against the contrasting black background, the logo "TS" and the words "Shiqi Tang" stand out in the picture.

The model poses in a listening posture in a dimly lit environment, wearing a garment combining knitting and 3D printing, featuring conch shell design elements. The play of light and shadow enhances the artistic and mysterious atmosphere of the composition.

On the left, the model lies on the soft gauze with her eyes closed to feel the temperature of the bottoming. The model wears black knitted trousers and knitted cuffs, a 3d printed conch model on her chest and black glossy pointy shoes. On the right is a close-up of the model embracing herself.

About

Embrace of Tranquil Artistry: Introducing Shiqi Tang‘s Knitwear

I am Shiqi Tang, a knitwear designer who blends tradition with innovation, weaving serenity into the fabric of our bustling digital age.

In a time where constant connectivity fragments our attention and overwhelms our senses, my work invites you to pause, breathe, and rediscover the beauty of the natural world through the richness of your own senses—hearing, smell, sight, taste, and touch. This journey is more than just a retreat; it is an awakening to the gifts nature bestows upon us, often overshadowed by fleeting digital distractions.

My expertise spans a diverse range of techniques and technologies. From the intimacy of domestic knitting machines to the precision of computerized and industrial knitting machines, and the cutting-edge possibilities of 3D printing. I craft each piece with meticulous care and innovation. I also employ Nomad and Blender for modeling, integrating hybrid materials into my designs, creating textures and patterns that tell a story of harmony between technology and tradition.

Each creation is a testament to the belief that in our fast-paced, digital-driven world, there lies a profound need to reconnect with the tangible, the sensory, and the real. My designs are not merely garments; they are a call to slow down, to engage with the essence of our surroundings, and to experience the world with a renewed sense of wonder.

Join me on this journey where every thread and every stitch is a step towards a more mindful, sensorial existence. Here, in my collection, you will find not just clothing, but a narrative of peace, a whisper of nature’s rhythm, and an invitation to rediscover the quiet joys of life. Let us embark on this path together, and let your senses guide you back to the embrace of nature’s timeless beauty.
