AUTUMN/WINTER 2022
AUTUMN/WINTER 2022 WITH MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK KUALA LUMPUR
USING MANDARIN COLLARS AND CHEONGSAM CUTS AS THE STARTING POINT, THIS COLLECTION LOOKS AT EARLY 20TH CENTURY ‘CHINESE’ FASHION AS IT WAS SLOWLY INFLUENCED BY THE WEST. SHAPES AND CUTS ARE INSPIRED BY CLASSIC SILHOUETTES WITH TIMELESS PATTERNS LIKE THE CHECK, HOUNDSTOOTH AND HERRINGBONE BUT IN MUTED YET SHARP COLOUR COMBINATIONS INSPIRED BY THE DIVERSE MALAYSIAN IDENTITY. THE RESULTING COLLECTION INVOKES AN OLD-WORLD GLAMOUR BUT OF THE NEW - A NOT-SO-DISTINGUISHABLE FUSION OF MORE EAST THAN WEST, THE ‘NEW’ MANDARIN.
