Physicality

Sean Suen AW20

How does a non-physical sensation turn into a physical one? This notion was explored in Sean Suen’s AW20 collection. The designer wanted to explore how external stimulations such as sound, sight , touch or smell can become a perception that shapes individual perspective. Suen wanted materials that played well in all of these dimensions and provided multi-sensory experiences. Wool was his choice material; versatile, durable yet soft, sturdy yet elegant.

This well rounded collection of beautiful materials, rich colors, embroidery and graphics had definitely stirred the senses outside of sight. I wanted the opportunity to touch and try on each piece that came across me because I could tell how gorgeous that fabric choice was. The collection also makes me feel like an intelligent consumer. Meaning, every piece in this collection is worth it. It was well thought out and impeccably designed.
