About Yvmin

YVMIN — Pioneer Experimental Spirit Jewelry Brand.

YVMIN launched in 2013,the brand unveils the artistic and romantic character of modern jewelry. It combines untraditional materials and experimental ways of wearing into each collection to create a knowledgeable and fashionable nature of YVMIN jewelry. YVMIN has always considered itself as a body-decoration lab rather than a fashion brand, to explore every connection between body and beauty as far as possible. The duo designer Xiaoyu Zhang and Min Li were graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2012, and established YVMIN studio together right after graduation. During the same time, Xiaoyu Zhang has been invited to attend “The Marzee International Graduate Show 2012” from Marzee Gallery in Netherlands.

Horizontal and Vertical

For the 10th anniversary of T Magazine China, we created a “braided headpiece” with the theme “One Horizontal, One Vertical.” The challenge was: “How do we make the wig headband float straight in mid-air?” Inside the hollow wig structure, the framework was supported by carbon fiber tubes, a material that is both very strong and lightweight, making it ideal for the structure.

Prosthesis 

In March 2021, we created multiple sets of prosthetic jewelry for Yang Jia, who has a prosthetic leg. We decided to focus on designing beautiful outer shells for the prosthetic frame, as well as easy-to-wear structures. This approach not only allowed for more creative freedom but also resolved many technical issues, reducing costs. This made it possible for us to design multiple styles, all of which were produced as real pieces for Yang to wear at different occasions, truly treating them as jewelry. This direction for the project also aims to raise awareness about prosthetic decorations, so that wearers can enjoy prosthetic accessories they love without having to replace expensive prosthetics.

Prosthesis 

In 2023, we were contacted by Wang Zhixuan, who was born with Poland Syndrome, which caused a congenital absence of her right breast and pectoral muscle. Her most cherished wish was to wear a bikini to the beach, as she had never worn a swimsuit before; during her teenage years, she would secretly stuff small paper balls into the right side of her bra to compensate for the missing chest muscle. We designed five prosthetic breasts: the Illuminated Breast, the Pearl Breast, the Jewel Breast, the Ripple Breast, and the Gift Ribbon Breast. These aren’t just functional prosthetics but body accessories to be worn proudly, even as outerwear, much like clothing.

Real virtual jewelry

In 2023, we created a series of body shells as an exploration of large-scale body jewelry.We drew inspiration from the lush, diverse plant life found near swamps. Our goal was for the wearer to feel a deep connection with the earth, almost as if they were growing directly from the soil, with the life force of the plants flowing through the shell like blood. The leg decorations are modeled after underground roots, extending upward, while the torso opens up like a blossoming flower. We transformed the shapes of plants, keeping their distinctive features while creating new forms of vegetation.

UGG x YVMIN Remake Collection I 

Invited by UGG, we collaborated on UGG’s 2024 Spring / Summer Golden Collection, applying un-ique craftsmanship traditionally used in jewelry-making to deconstruct, dismantle, and rebuild the pieces. During this remake process, we deliberately broke free from the constraints of time, using a mix of both old and new materials. Through these seemingly rough yet intricately detailed transformations, we hope to highlight a key distinction between accessory design and fashion design: the vastly different tools and materials that accessory designers work with over the years, forming close relationships with them as indispensable companions in the creative process.

UGG x YVMIN Remake Collection II

UGG once again partners with YVMIN for a second collaboration, launching the UGGLet — a relaxed and customizable multi-functional shoe chain. This collection brings jewelry craftsmanship and signature materials back into the collaboration.The saddle buckle accessory is inspired by the transformation from a “V̈” shape to a “U” shape. The two dots on top of the V̈ continue YVMIN’s signature “spinning flower” design. The moving jewelry adds a dynamic sparkle, reminiscent of swirling time or metallic snowflakes falling on the shoes, creating a continuous loop from the V shape to the U shape. The strap accessory can be matched with various types of shoes. Beyond being a shoe chain, it can also be worn as a bracelet or leg accessory.

Statue of women

In 2023, we started creating a series of sculptures based on the image of girls. This includes a collection of girl-shaped lights displayed by the seaside and jewelry display stands designed to mimic the look of marble sculptures.
