Hu Yin Ping  

“Snow-White Dove” is the second stage of the project Hu Xiaofang. In the first stage “Xiao Fang,” Hu Yinping purchased numerous rare and odd hats at above-market rates under the pseudonym “Xiaofang.” Once word spread of Hu’s mother’s good fortune, the mothers in the town were also keen to participate and the project grew. Hu Yinping decided to establish a company to officially purchase the knitted fabrics made by the mothers. Yinping then fabricated a French Bikini competition under the name “Xiaofang,” inviting the mothers to knit a bikini for themselves or their family members. Most of the mothers who live in the little town of Sichuan province never leave far from their homes. By inviting them to imagine the ocean, the mothers’ minds go beyond the distance their legs and bodies have reached. With this imagination, the mothers have knitted over a hundred woollen bikinis within two years.
