Hian Tjen SS24
Hian Tjen makes me want to show up awkwardly to a party completely over dressed. From start to finish these over the top, opulent pieces are a marvel to behold. Tjen does not hold anything back, more is more. The textiles used are a mix of feathered, embroidered, burned out, applique'd and beaded. It's all in there. Although the color palette was muted and pastel, nothing about these designs are modest. Each was a fantasy piece on its own. A standout look that I have been obsessed with myself is the pink beaded fringe gown.... or is it the blue one? I can't decide. It's not too often that we see a good opera coat and Hian Tjen had a couple of very notable ones. Way to make an entrance and an exit. Nature is the underlying theme in this collection but this is a world in which simplicity does not exist. Complexity is plucked from the scenery of this rambunctious and exquisite world.
