这件作品是裂织羽毛衣系列的其中一件，材料取自生产自主品牌服装产生的碎布，使用古老的木制腰机织造，将修剪过的碎布一片片织入纬纱，形成蓬松飘逸的“羽毛”。未做过多的裁剪，只是利用现有的幅宽，做了手工拼接，做成了这件独特的羽毛衣。

This work is one of the split feather sweater series. The material is taken from the rags produced by the production of independent brand clothing. It is woven by the ancient wooden waist machine, and the trimmed rags are woven into the weft yarn piece by piece to form fluffy and elegant "feathers". I didn't do too much cutting, but made use of the existing width to make this unique feather garment.

设计的过程可以追溯到很遥远的时间与空间。首先是因为兴趣开始收藏中国西南少数民族的织物和服饰，被它们的美所吸引。从1990年代开始不间断地走访那些地方，逐渐深入到当地人的生活中。在这个过程中，发现了当地的老人还依然保持着当今现代社会早已被抛弃的缝缝补补的习惯，以及背后惜物，爱物的情感。我们深深地收到了触动。

回望自己作为服装品牌的这么多年，我们会本能地收集裁剪衣服所剩下的边角碎布，也不断尝试着利用这些碎布。最终生活在深山里的老奶奶们启迪了我们，她们将无法再穿的衣服，破旧的布条等撕成小块，再重新织成布。所以我们也邀请这些老奶奶，利用我们30年间所搜集的碎布头，和我们一起创作了这些衣服。

我们这样做并非为了响应环保或类似宏大的社会议题，只在做一个设计师自认为对的事情，一个对得起自己良心的事情。

The design process can be traced back to a very distant time and space. First of all, because the interest began to collect the fabrics and costumes of the ethnic minorities in southwest China, attracted by their beauty. Since the 1990 s, I have been visiting those places continuously and gradually penetrated into the lives of local people. In this process, it was discovered that the local elderly still maintain the habit of sewing and mending that has long been abandoned in modern society, as well as the emotion of cherishing and loving things behind them. We were deeply touched.

Looking back on our years as a clothing brand, we will instinctively collect the remaining corner rags from cutting clothes, and constantly try to use these rags. In the end, the grannies living in the mountains enlightened us. They tore the clothes they could no longer wear, the worn-out strips of cloth, etc. into small pieces, and then rewoven them into cloth. So we also invited these grannies to create these clothes with us using the rags we have collected over the past 30 years.

We are not doing this in response to environmental protection or similar grand social issues, but only doing what a designer thinks is right, a thing worthy of his conscience.

1994年创立《布言布语》服装品牌，现在北京、上海有三家门店，一座综合艺术空间，一间画廊。2019年创立《MENGJINONGGA》品牌，将传统技艺和纹样与现代设计结合，制造出新的与生活方式相关的产品。从90年代开始收藏织物、织机等，现在已有上万件藏品。陆续举办了几十个与艺术相关的展览。

In 1994, he founded the clothing brand of "cloth words". Now there are three stores in Beijing and Shanghai, a comprehensive art space and a gallery.
