Features: Jintian's stage costumes and designs are exceptionally outstanding and dazzling. Essentially, it's an "addition" approach—fabrics and headpieces are richly layered, with meticulous attention to detail at every turn. The costumes he designed for Han-Tang Yuefu and the designs for Jiao and Lolang Girl are classics of Taiwanese theater. I truly got to know him through his book, Xiao Ye, which brought me a shock not just from the perspective of beautiful attire, but also from a new aesthetic habit, an open-minded approach to beauty. His thoughts are unrestrained and boundless. His bold design style amazed the Taiwanese theater world, not only transforming the audience's impression of costume design but also significantly elevating its status.
Watching Ye Jintian's costumes is like reading a book—unfolding a cultural experience, a perspective, and a spiritual dialogue and exploration.
