姜祎帆（Yvan Jiang）是一位常驻伦敦的跨学科艺术家与服装设计师，曾就读于伦敦时装学院及英国皇家艺术学院。他以服装为主要创作媒介，实践横跨时尚、戏剧与舞蹈，通过廓形、结构和材料实验，探索身体、情绪与空间之间的关系。其个人时装作品曾于伦敦时装周呈现，舞台戏服项目包括现代舞《ROOM》、曾获英国戏剧评论平台OBSCURAE报道的实验戏剧《Great Trauma》，以及2026年爱丁堡艺穗节期间呈现的现代舞剧《龙》。此外，他曾在JW Anderson、BALLON从事女装设计相关工作，并参与伦敦时装学院与Peachaus的行业合作项目。在不同的创作实践中，姜祎帆始终关注服装如何在穿着与表演中承载情感、故事及身体经验。
Yvan Jiang is a London-based interdisciplinary artist and fashion designer who studied at the London College of Fashion and the Royal College of Art. Working primarily with clothing, his practice spans fashion, theatre and dance, exploring the relationships between the body, emotion and space through experiments with silhouettes, structures and materials. His independent fashion work has been presented at London Fashion Week. His costume projects include the contemporary dance work ROOM, the experimental theatre production Great Trauma, which was featured by the British theatre review platform OBSCURAE, and the contemporary dance production Dragon (龙), presented at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He has also worked in womenswear design at JW Anderson and BALLON and participated in an industry collaboration between the London College of Fashion and Peachaus. Across these practices, Jiang remains interested in how clothing can carry emotions, stories and bodily experiences through wearing and performance.

作为伦敦设计节“Threshold”展览的参展艺术家，姜祎帆通过作品《ALL is ONE》探索服装与雕塑、身体与自然之间的关系。他将“阈值”理解为一种关系正在变化、意义尚未固定的过渡状态。此次展出的两套作品，以黑白、刚柔、包覆与裸露形成对照：天然黏土、矿石与金属构件构成具有雕塑感的穿戴结构，柔软面料则随身体呈现不同的形态。在他看来，服装与雕塑的边界并非完全固定，不同材质既保留各自的特征，也因与身体发生联系而产生新的意义。这种在差异中建立联系、不断寻找平衡的过程，正是他对展览主题的理解。
As a participating artist in the Threshold exhibition during the London Design Festival, Yvan Jiang explores the relationships between fashion and sculpture, and between the body and nature, through ALL is ONE. He understands a threshold as a transitional state in which relationships are changing and meanings have yet to become fixed. The two exhibited outfits create contrasts between black and white, rigidity and softness, enclosure and exposure. Natural clay, minerals and metal components form sculptural wearable structures, while soft fabrics take on different shapes around the body. For Jiang, the boundaries between clothing and sculpture are not entirely fixed. Different materials retain their own characteristics while developing new meanings through their relationship with the body. This process of establishing connections and seeking balance while preserving differences reflects his understanding of the exhibition theme.
《ALL is ONE》
《ALL is ONE》的创作灵感源于中国传统哲学中的“天人合一”思想。姜祎帆希望通过服装重新思考人与自然的联系，并将五行所蕴含的生命循环观念转化为贴近身体的视觉语言。在作品中，金、木、水、火、土被视为构成自然万物的要素，其中植物意象象征智慧与生命力，寄托着持续生长的愿望；水代表疗愈与包容，表达对内在平衡的追寻；火则象征信心与勇气，传递面对困境时继续前行的力量。他希望这些意象能够成为送给穿着者的祝福，让作品在安静而富有力量的视觉表达中，传递对生命、情绪及自然关系的思考。
ALL is ONE draws inspiration from the traditional Chinese philosophical concept of Tian Ren He Yi, the unity of humanity and nature. Through clothing, Jiang seeks to reconsider the relationship between people and the natural world, translating the cycle of life associated with the Five Elements into a visual language closely connected to the body. In the collection, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth are understood as elements of the natural world. Botanical imagery symbolises wisdom and vitality, expressing the wish for continued growth; water represents healing and tolerance, reflecting the search for inner balance; and fire symbolises confidence and courage, conveying the strength to move forward through difficulties. Jiang hopes these images can serve as blessings for the wearer, expressing reflections on life, emotion and nature through a visual language that is both quiet and powerful.

在制作过程中，姜祎帆以本科毕业创作为起点，尝试将“天人合一”的哲学观念转化为可穿戴的服装结构。他使用天然黏土塑造具有自然意象的部件，结合矿石，并以金属环和绑带连接柔软面料，使雕塑性结构与服装融为一体。其中，黏土与金属分别呼应五行中的“土”与“金”，植物、水与火的意象则通过造型、色彩及矿石加以呈现。系列中的胸衣式结构、上装及手腕构件与垂坠裙装形成对照，硬质材料勾勒出鲜明的轮廓，柔软面料则保留自然的褶皱与垂坠变化。金属连接处不仅承担实际的结构功能，也成为作品重要的视觉细节，使材料的差异与身体的关系得到具体呈现。
The collection originated from Jiang's undergraduate graduation project, in which he sought to translate the philosophical concept of Tian Ren He Yi into wearable forms. He shapes natural clay into components inspired by nature, combines them with minerals, and uses metal rings and straps to connect them with soft fabrics, bringing sculptural structures and clothing together. Clay and metal correspond respectively to Earth and Metal within the Five Elements, while botanical, water and fire imagery is expressed through forms, colours and minerals. Corset-like structures, tops and wrist components are combined with draped skirts, contrasting the defined outlines of rigid materials with the natural folds and movement of soft fabrics. The metal connections serve practical structural purposes while also becoming important visual details, making the differences between materials and their relationships with the body visible.

未来，姜祎帆希望继续在时装与戏剧表演之间展开创作，进一步探索服装在静止、行走及舞蹈等不同身体状态下所产生的形态与意义。他将持续研究材料的重量、软硬及连接方式如何影响身体动作，并尝试让服装更早地参与人物塑造与表演设计。同时，他也希望结合时尚行业的产品开发经验，探索雕塑性结构与实际穿着之间的平衡。中国传统思想仍将是其重要的创作来源，他期待通过时装、舞台戏服与可穿戴艺术，让传统观念与当代生活中的情绪、身份及身体经验产生新的联系。
Looking ahead, Jiang hopes to continue working between fashion and theatrical performance, further exploring how clothing changes in form and meaning when the body is still, walking or dancing. He intends to examine how material weight, rigidity, softness and methods of connection influence movement, while involving costume design more closely in character development and performance. He also hopes to combine his experience in fashion product development with artistic experimentation, exploring the balance between sculptural structures and practical wearability. Traditional Chinese philosophy will remain an important source of inspiration, as he seeks to connect these ideas with contemporary experiences of emotion, identity and the body through fashion, stage costumes and wearable art.
