For Wei, the horse is more than a decorative motif. His aim is to capture the horse's vitality, speed, and untamed elegance. This approach is reflected in carefully considered details, from fringe hems that suggest the movement of a galloping horse, to sculptural horsehead metal buckles that convey confidence, and mane-inspired prints on cropped jackets that evoke a sense of raw energy.
The collection also draws from classical imagery in Chinese history. During his research, Wei was particularly inspired by the "winged horse" motif, a pattern that originated in Greek mythology with Pegasus, traveled eastward along the Silk Road through Persia, and was introduced to China during the late Northern Wei Dynasty (386–534), where it profoundly influenced traditional Chinese brocade weaving. Artifacts bearing this image have since been unearthed in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Gansu province, and Shaanxi province — lasting evidence of Eurasian cultural exchange.
