{"product_id":"鲤影-li-ying-the-shadow-of-a-carp-pleated-tee","title":"鲤影 (Li Ying) \"The Shadow of a Carp\" Waffle Pleated Tee","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Li Ying Pleated Tee takes its name from the Chinese phrase 鲤影—\"the shadow of a carp\"—capturing a fleeting moment between movement and stillness. Across the waffled surface, a pair of fish drift through a deep indigo field, appearing almost suspended beneath water. As the fabric stretches and contracts with the body, the image shifts subtly, creating the illusion of movement beneath the garment's textured surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese visual culture, fish are associated with perseverance, transformation, and abundance. The motif draws upon the classical legend of the carp ascending the Dragon Gate, where determination becomes metamorphosis. MARGINAL MAN renders them as fragmented forms, suspended between digital image and traditional symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from a finely pleated stretch fabrication, the tee combines a compact mock neckline with a close-fitting silhouette that moulds naturally to the wearer. The permanent pleating introduces both texture and elasticity, allowing the garment to adapt across a range of body shapes while maintaining its sculptural character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalancing contemporary graphic language with cultural symbolism, the Li Ying Pleated Tee functions as both everyday garment and moving image, an exploration of mythology, memory, and transformation translated through dress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TyagGW_tableContainer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group TyagGW_tableWrapper flex flex-col-reverse w-fit\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003ctable data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1493\" class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\"\u003e\n\u003cthead data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1434\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1434\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1406\" data-col-size=\"sm\" class=\"last:pe-10\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1420\" data-col-size=\"sm\" class=\"last:pe-10\"\u003eLength (cm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1434\" data-col-size=\"sm\" class=\"last:pe-10\"\u003eChest (cm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1493\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1493\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1475\" data-col-size=\"sm\"\u003eOne Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1480\" data-col-size=\"sm\"\u003e46\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1493\" data-col-size=\"sm\"\u003e70 (flat)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1495\" data-end=\"1657\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: The pleated construction offers substantial stretch and flexibility.
