Chaser in the Mist unfolds an immersive dialogue between two designers—Brunela Ramirez (aka Bosshi) and Yang Yang Xu—whose creative worlds converge in a haze of emotion, texture, and shadow. Presented in New York City, the exhibition bridges fashion, moving image, and digital experimentation to form a sensory narrative that transcends traditional boundaries.
Bosshi is a New York–based emerging fashion designer. Born in Peru, she dedicated her early years to studying fashion across Europe and the United States, eventually earning an MFA in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Her academic journey and artistic background have earned her international recognition, with her collections featured in leading publications such as i-D and Vogue.
Brunela Ramirez as a multidisciplinary artist and fashion designer focuses on research and conceptual exploration. Her work delves into the creation of unconventional silhouettes, drawing aesthetic inspiration from the enigmatic atmosphere of cinema. Guided by curiosity about life’s mysteries, social connections, and individual expression, her designs embody a genderless and sculptural approach that challenges traditional notions of form and identity.
Yangyang is a fashion and print designer whose work draws on cinematic and contemporary-art influences and a research-driven approach to material and form. Trained at Kingston MA Fashion, she translates filmic imagery and 2D graphics into tactile prints, three-dimensional garments, and immersive experience. In this practice she foregrounds halftone textures, translucent layering, and precise pattern-cutting to probe how images and materiality shape perception and belief.
Through garments, installations, and time-based media, Chaser in the Mist exhibited in Flowing Space Gallery in NYC blurs the line between the tangible and the imagined. Each piece becomes a fragment of a shared subconscious—an exploration of darkness, fragility, and transformation. The works invite viewers into a dreamlike space where identity and emotion are rendered through texture, light, and movement.
Ramirez’s practice—defined by her sculptural approach to silhouette and her ability to translate emotion into material form—intertwines with Xu’s digital poetics and spatial sensibility. Together, they create an environment where fabric breathes, shadows pulse, and technology converses with tactility.
The exhibition stands as both a dialogue and a confrontation: between softness and structure, presence and disappearance, human touch and digital abstraction. By merging fashion and visual art, Chaser in the Mist expands the language of contemporary design into a conceptual and immersive experience.
This project exemplifies Ramirez’s commitment to collaboration, innovation, and cross-disciplinary practice. It demonstrates her capacity to move beyond commercial fashion, positioning her work within the realm of artistic research and cultural exchange. Through Chaser in the Mist, Ramirez asserts her role as a designer whose vision bridges material craft and emotional narrative—illuminating the transformative power of fashion as art.
