Her work investigates the intersections of fashion, environment, and sustainability, focusing on how design can respond to the multifaceted challenges of environmental, social, and cultural issues through innovation and craftsmanship. Lu Jin views fashion as a narrative medium that goes beyond aesthetics, using her creations to explore the relationships between people, the environment, and society, while provoking reflection on sustainable development, consumer behavior, and possible futures.
Lu Jin 畢業於倫敦時裝學院（London College of Fashion）Fashion Futures 碩士學程，為一名獨立時尚設計師，專注於永續實踐與材質探索。她的創作研究時尚、環境與永續之間的交會關係，關注設計如何透過創新與工藝，回應環境、社會與文化層面中複雜且交織的挑戰。Lu Jin 將時尚視為一種超越美學的敘事媒介，透過作品探討人、環境與社會之間的關係，並引發對永續發展、消費行為及未來可能性的反思。
PlastiClean uses recycled plastic bags as its primary material, transforming discarded plastics into garments through crochet techniques. The project begins with material exploration, revealing the potential of waste in fashion design and employs craftsmanship to up-cycle discarded plastics, giving them new life.
In addition to addressing the urgent issue of global plastic pollution, the project employs speculative design to envision possible futures. It uses fashion as a medium to provoke reflection on our relationship with plastic.
An accompanying film further extends this vision, depicting a future where discarded plastics are redefined and reintegrated into everyday life.
Through visual storytelling and design, the project invites audiences to consider how fashion might exist in a more sustainable form.
Through innovative design and environmentally conscious practice, the project aims to respond to current ecological challenges and explore new pathways toward a more sustainable future for the fashion industry.
《PlastiClean》 以回收塑膠袋作為主要材料，透過鉤織（crochet）技法，將被丟棄的塑膠轉化為服裝。專案始於對材料本身的探索，揭示廢棄物在時尚設計中的潛力，並藉由工藝實踐，將被忽視的塑膠重新升級再造，賦予其全新的生命。
除了回應全球塑膠污染這一迫切議題之外，本計畫亦運用推測式設計（Speculative Design），想像多種可能的未來情境，並以時尚作為媒介，引導人們重新思考自己與塑膠之間的關係。
隨附的影像作品進一步延展此一願景，描繪一個未來世界——被丟棄的塑膠被重新定義，並再次融入日常生活之中。
透過視覺敘事與設計語言，《PlastiClean》邀請觀眾思考：在更具永續意識的未來中，時尚將以何種形式存在。
藉由創新設計與對環境負責的創作實踐，本專案旨在回應當前的生態挑戰，並為時尚產業探索通往更永續未來的新路徑。
