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.

Walter Van Beirendonck AW23

The collection was also a nod to the ‘80s and ‘90s, when bold, vibrant colors and playful designs were a hallmark of high fashion. Walter Van Beirendonck paid homage to these decades by incorporating elements like neon accents, chunky knits, and oversized silhouettes. This created a collection that was both nostalgic and contemporary, blending old and new styles to create something truly unique.

Huishan Zhang Pre Fall 23

The on-screen wardrobe of Novak's character was used to build tension and suspense, and it is this cinematic device that influences the majority of Zhang's Pre-Fall 2023 line. From flowing, draped fabrics to bold and elegant prints, each piece in the collection is designed to evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Game On

Taiwanese designer Jenn Lee launches her AW22 collection utilizing the unlimited powers of the virtual world. This season, Lee partners with award winning production company, Renovatio Pictures to launch a treasure hunting VR game.

What a Babe...

The autumn winter season has always been known to be a celebration of society's most elegant and most coveted soirees. Many socialites and aristocracy had made their most memorable and influential appearances during this season. Huishan Zhang celebrates the legacies of Babe Paley and Marella Agnelli in his AW22 collection.

Artisan Liberation

This collection has unexpected depth through the vast array of textiles. Utilizing natural fibers such as cashmere and wool tartan as well as velvet and sustainable vegan leather. "Artisan Liberation" is a celebration of individuality and self expression.

Space Rave

In the avant-garde world of Custo Barcelona, more is always more. Vibrant colors, futuristic patterns, and multicolored sequins filled the runway at Custo Barcelona’s New York Fashion Week 2022 show.

So Many Feelings

"We feel things they'll never feel" This phrase, spotted on the London tube, has become the title of Passaro's latest AW22 collection. Intended as an ode to hypersensitivity it stems from a deep sense of time and dreams of self-expression.

Masculine Lounging

This was by far the most surprising collection I came across during Paris Men's Fashion Week. Upon first inspection I was not expecting all of the thought that went into this seemingly simple collection. This is one of those rare times when I glance at a collection first and think, that's pretty interesting and I like the vibe. Then I read the press release and find out what it's really about and I am completely in love with it.

Lucid Dreaming

Through various collections this theme has been explored and investigated and continues to be studied by Chen as each collection is presented almost like a progress report of his most recent findings. The designer finds the coexistence of reality and a dream state fascinating, the existence of fantasy in conjunction with the objective world, the rational and irrational, the non-existence of time. This collection reflects the designers consciousness, fluctuating graphics like waves through a lucid dream.

Triggering

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.

Collaboration

The movements evoke new emotions to the wearer through its collaboration with the comfort and lightness of the materials. The fabrics create dynamic curves around the form and in places where slits were created the figure can be freed.

Write On

I have always been such a sucker for elegant calligraphy. The way it looks, the time it it took to write in such a exquisite way. The message didn’t even matter much. It could even read something as simple as “I’ve popped out to the store.”, but in calligraphy it is received as a love letter that looks more like, “Darling, I have gone on a short outing to gather some goods. If you need anything at all please text me. I cannot wait to finish my task so that I may once again, be reunited with you. With all my heart…”.

Surreal in Real Life

Edeline is a true artist in which she uses multimedia to present her collections. This season she takes a surreal approach in her fashion film. By distorting the characters in the film, she emphasizes the usage of color blocking and complex pattern drafting in her designs.

"Fluidity 1"

London Fashion Week always had an energetic and enticing vibe to it and I was curious to see if the fashion industry was ready to carry on again after the forced pause of live shows and events. Seems like all was well for the AJOY SAHU SS22 launch.

Everybody in the Pool!

In the past, it is safe to say that swimwear to me just seemed like "outside lingerie". E.MACBEAN reinvents this category with the emphasis put on the fact that swimwear is "outside clothes".

Two for the Road

Utilitarian parkas and easily chic trench coats fly down the runway with swishing long fringed pieces. There is no need to sacrifice dramatic expression for utilitarianism. Bold prints in neon green are anchored by shades of taupe and obsidian.

Training Season

Sarah Andelman, founder of Just an Idea and previously a buyer and image director of the iconic Colette in Paris has joined forces with Amrose this season. For this collaboration they let their imagination run wild.

Turn Up the Volume

This spring is not for wallflowers, this collection is about living out loud. A frenzy of floral prints with ruffles of all sizes, MSGM truly turned the volume up.

"I Have Broken a Piece of Me"

We manipulate our physical selves in ways to narrate a story to the outside world. Jamie Wei Huang's story, "I Have Broken a Piece of Me", begins from experiencing a physical accident.
