MEN'S FALL-WINTER
2023/2024 COLLECTION
This season, Wang was thinking especially about the original Chinese "Hundred Families Robe" tradition, whereby, 100 days after giving birth to a child, parents will visit 100 people – from family members to friends and neighbours – and receive a piece of cloth. These fabric donations are then sewn together into a patchwork robe, a shared symbol of love. Similarly, this season, Wang gathered surplus fabric from seasons past, splicing them together in a way that is not only sustainable but symbolic.
