Through the work of Ma Ke, a young designer sought after by Fashion Week, Jia Zhang-Ke offers an empathetic reflection on the "usefulness" of clothing in contemporary Chinese society. Behind the untouched world of fashion, the realities of Canton's textile workers and Shanxi's impoverished tailors serve as a reminder of how unequal living conditions are reflected in the relationship with clothing.
