This past summer, our Head of Studio, David Yeung, was invited to present at the “Thinking Creatively” conference, held at the jo&

105;nt Chinese-American higher educational venture, Wenzhou Kean University. The conference was part of the larger UCDA Asia Event.

 

David Yeung is a fashion designer with a social practice focus and teaches fashion design at the IFC. His work for the “Thinking Creatively” conference was his “Fashion Can Heal” apparel prototype, which makes use of traditional Eastern medical approaches: acupuncture and massage, to give preventative health care to it’s wearer. Embedded within the garment, electronic pulses give massage along acupuncture-designated pressure points to encourage blood and lymphatic flow according to traditional Chinese medical theories.
