Meet the creator
I’m Jiayi Shen. I was born and raised in Shanghai, China, before moving to NYC to pursue my BFA in Fashion Design at Parsons at The New School. I am working on ready-to-wear garments that are tailored yet capable of capturing the fluid identities in how people express themselves.

Kite City: Float at Guggenheim Museum
“Kite City,” a Fall ‘23 course led by artist Marisa Morán Jahn in partnership with Academic Engagement @guggenheim allowed Jahn and her students from Parsons to design kites and other structures that capture the sensation of being airborne. “Float,” a Guggenheim Late Shift event on March 21, 2024, featured this work to share the cultural, spiritual, and architectural aspects of kites and flight.
