Triggering

Sean Suen AW22

In this peculiar time of human history, human beings are the most triggered variable in ecology and also the most likely to trigger other variables. Observing human behavior and consciousness on both objective and subjective perspectives, the physical and psychological distance have been significantly widened. A large population feels an isolation that has never been experienced before in recent human history. We saw a huge spike in anxiety and frantic paranoia, a long period of self isolation and selective non-communication. Now we are experiencing the aftermath of all of that trauma. How do we move on because we can't go back?

Sean Suen AW22 examines the changing flux of emotions and our process of self reconciliation. Suen continues working in his signature aesthetics, silhouettes and technologically enhanced textiles. Black, white and gray symbolize the emotions of our human condition and the inclusion of earth tones remind us all that we are all a part of one whole Earth. Life continues and we are better equipped for it now. Using cold resisting fabrics such as wool and leather, it creates a physical and psychological shield against whatever may come across our way.
