Ziggy ChenAW23 VIGLUMSY: A Journey of Clumsy Elegance
Ziggy Chen presents their latest collection, VIGLUMSY. This new line promises to take you on a journey of refined clumsiness, where the boundaries of traditional garment making are pushed to create a truly unique experience. The inspiration behind the collection was derived from a deep dive into the world of awkward objects, resulting in a delightful mix of torn effects, fragmented patterns, and erratic folds. However, this is not just a stand-alone collection, but rather a continuation of the designer's timeless poetics, connecting past and future with every stitch.
VIGLUMSY introduces a range of innovative details and techniques, carefully crafted to bring a touch of warmth and comfort to the cold winter months. The key fabric of the collection, linen, is a personal favourite of the designer and is combined with wool, hemp, cashmere, and high-quality cotton to create a delicate balance of solidity and innovation. This season, Ziggy Chen announces the return of velvet, which makes a comeback in the form of two exclusive velveteen fabrics, printed and striped, crumpled and trimmed to create a dreamy and complex sheen.
The colour palette of the collection is inspired by the natural world, with a range of earthy hues including crimson, tan, and the signature olive green. The graphics in this season are an extension of past collections, featuring signature printing techniques and a mix of different types of stripes.
VIGLUMSY is a unisex collection, with garments that share the same spirit, but with different silhouettes for men and women. It's a collection that celebrates the beauty of clumsiness and the innovative spirit of Ziggy Chen.
