VillAge 1 �" Country and Trucker

design / photography / edit by HuangFeiLung

VillAge is an experimental fashion research and design project based on the studies of Taiwanese village wears and documentaries that HuangFeiLung has been collecting over the years. In Taiwan like most modern countries, city people look down on the ones who dress or act like coming from countryside. It’s just about hatred in the bias of fashion world. The “images” they are wearing represent their background and personality which contain so many unique trends and forms that we should not feel shame about. I, living in Taiwan feel obligated to restore and reform my image of village wears that belong here. Furthermore, VillAge project is actually trying reinterpret these forgotten Taiwanese styles and cultural wears using modern fusion and imagination to create a new statement of Taiwanese old time fashion.

Country and Trucker is the first issue of VillAge concept. FeiLung Huang, uses pop fashion accessory such as “trucker caps” to wrapped with many different symbolic colors, patterns, and textures of cloth. This way of cloth design and wrapping used to be applied on the farmer's bamboo hat (easily seen in Asian tea farms) in order to keep the wind from blown away. Mixing these two accessories to creat a series of bazaar looking Country and Trucker girls.
