The idea of this collection comes from a brilliant movie: What we do in the shadows, a mockumentary horror comedy film about a group of vampires who live together in an ordinary apartment. The film is so incredibly hilarious and smart underneath all its seemingly vampire cliché, that after watching it I was overwhelmed by this idea of creating a collection that also combines the classic vampire elegance and mystique with an unexpected sense of humor and fun!
Gothic Romanticism has long been one of my favorite styles, and at the same time I am also very fond of a geometric and colorful Pop style. With FW2016 collection, I try to create an interesting image by combining the classical gothic aesthetics with a geometric and humorous modernity. Many delicate materials like different kinds of lace, chiffon, and satin still play an important role in this vampire story, but bold colors and humor embedded in details. Pale pink and turquoise bring a cute and light breath into the dark air; bright color grommets are places on where vampires had bitten; ancient woodcut letters “BLOOD” and tooth monsters are printed on sweatshirt with 2 holes at neck; false black lace print is created by ancient Chinese paintings. This collection, as well as this brand, is created for women who are undoubtedly elegant and sophisticated, yet very playful and fantastic. I wish this collection could provide as much fun as its elegance to whom searching for fresh air in her refined style.
About the Brand This brand is created by the love of fantasies and stories. I always live with different stories and fantasies since I was a child, and always be fascinated by these illusions of the surreal world. As the movies to the director, my collections are my ways to tell my stories and to let people see and feel the world I have in mind. For me, each collection, like different movies or novels, has its own roles, atmosphere and scent. With this idea, I always see every collection as a fresh start to explore new combination of materials, new color palette and new silhouette. Yet as a brand, the elegance and unique femininity, will always be a concern in my collections, along with the fun of mixing contrast elements, such as Ancient & Modern, Classic & Pop, Soft & Hard..... The girls we gather are elegant, intellectual, and hard to define. They seem tamed, but rebel in fact. If you are drawn by some of these stories, or just simply love the fine touch of textures, please join us, and enjoy our performance in this illusive fantasy.
