Chinese jewelry designer brand YVMIN incorporates prosthetics into the realm of jewelry. Rather than diminish the presence of prosthetics, YVMIN rethinks the meaning of prosthetics beyond functionality. Aesthetically pleasing and unique prosthetic designs can help the user see their body in a more positive light. When revisiting the traditional narrative that " disability " equals "failure," can we hope that fashion will rewrite this deep-rooted prejudice? Creative prosthetic design opens up a dialogue—how can fashion give voice to minority groups, and how can aesthetics add a silver lining to "disability"?

中国首饰设计师品牌 YVMIN 尤目将义肢纳入了首饰的边界,与其费尽心力削弱义肢的存在感,不如重新思考义肢在功能性之外存在的意义。美观的、独特的义肢设计可以帮助使用者更加积极地看待佩戴了义肢后的身体。当再次回看「残缺」等同于「失败」的传统叙事,我们是否可以寄希望于通过时尚改写这种根深蒂固的偏见?充满创意的义肢设计正是开启了一场对话 —— 时尚如何为少数群体赋予声音,美学又该如何为「残缺」增添光彩?
