This project originates from my memories of the falconry culture of my hometown in Inner Mongolia. Drawing on field research with falconers and anatomical studies of raptors, I explore structural innovation in menswear silhouette. Observing feather layering, the keel-shaped sternum, and avian movement, I develop an anthropomorphic “Bird-Man” as the foundation for pattern-cutting experiments. Through leather, double-faced wool, and long-pile yarns, the project aims to propose a new menswear structure that reshapes the male body while maintaining wearability.
