Yī Fù

In Chinese, Yī Fú (衣服) means clothes. Coincidently, in the same pronunciation, Yī Fù (依附), means attachment. These two concepts sound extremely alike, however, they are different. It also suggests a liaison between the two vocabularies.

From one Yī Fú to Yī Fù, the physical action of wearing clothes might lead to an internal transformation and having a special relationship with the item itself.

Yī Fú to Yī Fù, this process adds value to our clothing by creating collective memories. However, in our current society, we are constantly influenced by peer pressure, bloggers, and social media, so much that our closet is flooded with outside opinions. The internal values that clothes can bring to us are fading away.

If clothes could talk, what would they say?
