About
Sexism and injustice against women in today’s society, especially in Asian societies, is a well-known topic. We have to start to reflect on this question: it is good for women in modern society to join forces to fight against social injustice, but can we win true justice by giving up our femininity and causing confrontation between the sexes? The confrontation between men and women triggered by women’s rights has risen to the level of population, social security and other public issues, is it really what we want?
Yueqi Li believe that the term “feminist” tends to be associated with male energy, whereas “woman” is more aligned with female energy. A woman who is at ease in her natural feminine energy is a woman who can freely be herself. Our society often values male strength and authority, causing women to feel pressured to conform to this ideal. However, women need to remember that they can embrace both their feminine and masculine qualities, rather than focusing solely on one. The world doesn’t need more masculine women or more success-driven women. The world needs more women who know how to balance masculine and feminine energies in their lives harmoniously.
She wanted to make something that looked strong and hard armour but was actually soft and resilient. We usually call it Flexible. Flexibility in Chinese means soft but strong, and she thinks every woman is like that, we may be soft on the outside but we have a strong core. She wanted to create a collection of clothes that convey the powerful nature of a woman’s unique flexibility, and therefore to express her ideal of a unique female figure for the new age.
She wants every female in this new era to have both a protective outer shell and a strong inner core. We can own our unique qualities as women while at the same time living in a society with men as equals.
