Brand New China's Steampunk Patriarch
Yin Xiang Kun (尹相锟)'s 2010 China Central Academy of Fine Arts Jewelry Design Graduation Exhibition
Yin Xiang Kun's jewelry brand: Skeleton Beauty
尹相锟的手饰品牌：骸之美
The name, Yin Xiang Kun, hardly rings a bell with most Chinese consumers, or even the chicest Beijingers. But Yin was an unavoidable addition to Brand New China, China's hottest, high-end boutique that carries exclusively Made-in-China pieces, owned by none other than China's Media Power Woman - Hong Huang (洪晃). With an eye trained in unearthing raw talent untainted by commercialization and banality, Hong Huang disappoints none in housing Yin's Skeleton Beauty.
In this collection of Yin's graduation work, Yin tells a story of bitter survival through his Steampunk-themed, aquatic life forms. His collection belongs to a distant future of which we might never understand - a future of post-apocalyptic beauty.
