RUIbuilt breaks the category divisions of traditional fashion and creates a new diversified design concept that encourages each wearer to establish a unique and intimate relationship with their clothes to explore the duality of all things in a more philosophical way, focusing on existence itself.
The works usually revolve around the theme of "in between", seeking for the relationship and spatial structure between skin and fabric, body and clothing, entity and boundary.
Rui attempts to make clothing an intrinsic part of the individual, forming a doorway from oneself to the outside world.

Qiufan started his experience in related to music and arts seriously in 2009. While studying philosophy at the college, he shifted from solely composing classical music to electronic music productions and multi-disciplinary works in which he explores the texture of the sound and structure of the composition in relation to the aesthetic of plain, simplicity and elegance; works reacted from the chaotic and fragmented contemporary context in reserved and natural way. His main works were acoustic-electronic music that employs female vocal ensemble and synthetic sounds. These practices are applied in his recent works in underground dance music and visual scores.
