Ying Xin

This collection explores the subtle yet deeply rooted phenomenon of female relational aggression—the invisible, often overlooked forms of harm that occur between women. Drawing from social conditioning, childhood experiences, and the silent expectations placed upon women to be agreeable, the collection expresses the tension between vulnerability and self-protection. Silhouettes are built around the image of the victimized woman, featuring oversized collars and enveloping forms that symbolize concealment, suppression, and the instinct to hide emotional wounds. Through six narrative looks, the series follows a story arc that unveils how concealed hostility shapes identity, ultimately revealing the quiet resilience that emerges from beneath the surface.
