SPRING/SUMMER 2023 PARADE

ROMANTIC BUT RATIONAL. ANTICIPATORY, BUT WARY. DESIGNER CHEN MERGES THE CYBERSPACE WITH THE OUTDOORS, CREATING AN ILLUSIONARY EXPERIENCE.

 

BODIES ADORNED WITH SURREAL PIECES PARADE THE CITY STREETS. BLANK SIGNS ARE ACCESSORIZED AS A FORM OF SUSPENDED COMMENTARY. RUFFLES BECOME GLOWING ORBITS OF LIGHT AS IF SYNTHESIZING TO AN UNKNOWN. FABRICS DEFINE THE HUMAN ANATOMY BY MIRRORING UV MAPPING AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING THROUGH GRAPHIC BEADING AND BONING. FOUR-BY-FIVE RECTANGULAR MOTIFS ARE REPEATED THROUGHOUT, ALLUDING TO THE SCREENS WE SCROLL THROUGH EVERY DAY.

 

IT BECOMES A QUESTION OF TECHNOLOGICAL DETERMINISM AND A REFLECTION OF A WORLD WE THINK WE KNOW. THE COLLECTION IS DEDICATED TO LEAVING THE MYSTERY OPEN, ACTING AS A LOVE LETTER TO THE UNANSWERED.
