Bio
Rebecca Chen is a Taiwan-born, New York–based fashion designer who loves weaving her imagined worlds into reality through subtle, elegant, and soft aesthetics. Inspired by nature and everyday surroundings, she translates organic beauty into silhouettes that feel emotional and practical. She is drawn to transformation, often designing garments that can be worn in multiple ways. She enjoys exploring different themes and experimenting with new materialities. Rooted in personal narratives, her design reflects a quiet sensitivity and a desire to create pieces that can adapt and connect with the wearer.
The Blooming Wasteland
Where story and emotions become silhouette...
Costume Design
The Blooming Wasteland is a costume collection for the biopunk film Vesper, set in a world shaped by ecological collapse and biotechnology, where a young girl struggles to survive.
I reimagined four characters through distinct techniques: Vesper through pattern blocking, Camellia through hand beading and appliqué, Darius through rust dyeing, and the Pilgrim through draping. Many of the materials are upcycled from past collections or sourced from donation boxes, reinforcing themes of survival and adaptation.
