Misguided

Wang Yuwen is a fashion media practitioner and image-maker based in Singapore and China. Her work explores the intersection of fashion, identity and social power, with a focus on how contemporary visual culture shapes self-perception and belonging. Through research-led image-making, she examines the subtle mechanisms that govern appearance, questioning the pressures embedded within fashion systems and the boundaries between self-expression and conformity.
Misguided is a provocative fashion publication that reframes “embarrassment” as a form of resistance. It exposes how shame is manufactured through social power, consumerism and conformity, helping young women in China challenge mainstream aesthetics by transforming shame into a confident means of self-definition.
