A Moment with Huili Jin: Designing for a Conscious Future
It was a delight catching up with Huili Jin, a rising fashion talent from the Royal College of Art. Originally from China, Huili brings a thoughtful, future-facing approach to design, with sustainability and functionality sitting at the heart of her creative vision.
Her latest project reimagines garment structure with intelligent, transformative design. Think detachable collars and ties that seamlessly shift an outfit from professional to casual—offering not only versatility but a subtle psychological cue to transition out of work mode.
​
She pairs this innovation with vivid colours and bold prints, designed to uplift and soothe the wearer—a visual balm for the modern soul. At the core of her practice: sustainable fashion, functional design, and a zero-waste approach to pattern cutting. Huili’s work is not just stylish—it’s a glimpse into a more mindful way of dressing.
