In her latest s/s 2013 collection, called ”A Bird Without Leg”,
Shengwei shows her genuine take on sculptural knitwear through 
loose forms with bell-shaped sleeves as short wings interlocked 
with insubstantial organza inserts as feathers in a plain palette 
of creamy shades, metallic gray and black and white.
She skillfully combines flat and bouclé yarns with metallic 
inserts, playing with geometrical motifs to create dazzling 
patchworks, lace and net effects, often emebellished with 
small fringes
