I still remember the first time I went to a @Haizen Wang show. It was a presentation at Somerset House in London. It was one of my first shows to attend that season and my photographer was covering another show, so I had to improvise and take pictures. I was looking through the lens and I kept thinking, Wow! those designs are awesome. I remember that a few of the looks did not get a picture because I was so amazed that I forgot to press the button. Oh well, I learned from that…
Our sense of universal personhood is in a state of flux. ‘Act to form’ is a collection inspired by looking at new, isolated individuals that the current world order is generating.
Play design: Self-actualization and self-restrain.
In the fast-paced modern city, there is a continuing desire to find oneself, not just as independent beings, but also as one united consciousness. The collection seems to play a role in making us appreciate the business of our daily days and while appreciating each single moment.
‘Play Design’ elaborates on question such as Self-actualisation and self- restraint which can be both Subtle and Bold when expressed. the collection hopes to incorporate the different aspects of design reflecting the many choices women face nowadays.
The main fabrics used for this collection were Cashmere and Leather. The color palette for this collection was a mixture of Cherry Red and Peacock Blue.
A mixture of textures and prints with a punk feel to it. A vibrant color palette with tones that match the season and radiate energy. Creative styling and chic accesories.
Xiao Li develops her signature style of combining traditional knit with new innovative techniques in manufacturing. Inspired by 60s street style the collection explores the contradictions of fast fashion and beautifully crafted garments.
