Jennifer Ye (Zhiqi Ye) is a womenswear designer whose practice explores textile materiality and the narrative potential of garments. Through extensive experimentation with fabric manipulation, eco-conscious dyeing techniques, and sculptural silhouettes, she investigates the relationship between memory, temporality, and the body.

Her signature collection, RUINS, draws inspiration from architectural memory and urban decay, translating collapsing structures and traces of erosion into a tactile sartorial language. Combining natural rust dyeing, botanical pigments, and digital printing, Ye creates garments that function as vessels of time and sensory experience while remaining rooted in sustainable design practices.

Alongside her textile-led practice, Ye frequently works with recycled materials and reconstructed garments, emphasising processes of transformation and renewal. Her work also reflects an ongoing engagement with disability-conscious design and female subjectivity.

Ye was awarded Second Prize in the From Code Project “Uniform Evolution,” a project centred on inclusive uniform design that addressed the lived needs of students with disabilities and female students through considerations of bodily perception, mobility, and everyday wearability.
