Founded in 2022, DEFICELER originates from the philosophy of Chinese Southwestern ethnic minorities’ traditional craftsmanship. We re-examine dyeing, weaving, and embroidery beyond the ethnic cultural context, and are composing a new ethnography through contemporary womenswear.

DEFICELER, as “unstitching” in French, indicates the last process of the traditional ethnic craftsmanship “stitch-dye” as well as our fresh perspective on ethnic fashion.
