byFANG TIME SHAPED BY THE FOLD

At the byFANG showroom, scale and stillness converge. Monumental photographic works arrest the gaze, offering an immediate immersion into Fang Yang’s world, one defined by restraint, precision and quiet intensity. The space is not merely a setting but an extension of her language, controlled, deliberate and alive with tension between movement and stillness.

The Autumn/Winter 2026/2027 ready-to-wear collection unfolds with measured elegance. Suspended between Paris and Shanghai, it navigates a nuanced dialogue between romance and structure. Fluidity is counterbalanced by exacting lines, while softness is given edge. Silhouettes do not announce themselves. They emerge gradually, with a confidence that resists spectacle in favour of permanence. This is clothing that asserts itself through discipline rather than excess.

If the ready-to-wear speaks in nuance, the couture articulates its philosophy in full. Drawing from zhezhi, the ancient Chinese art of paper folding, Fang Yang constructs garments as sculptural propositions. Fabric is folded, layered and engineered into forms that hover between garment and object. Each piece carries the imprint of time, with hours distilled into gesture and repetition refined into clarity.

Here, craftsmanship is not decorative. It is structural, intellectual and essential. In conversation, Fang Yang reveals an approach that is as philosophical as it is technical. Her process is iterative and almost meditative, an act of return, refinement and control.

In Conversation with Fang Yang

Suna: Fang, this collection feels both controlled and organic. Where does it begin?

Fang Yang: “It begins with petals. Every piece unfolds. We fold, layer and shape the fabric so it carries movement within structure. Zhezhi is the starting point, a simple square transformed through discipline. The possibilities are infinite, but the process must remain precise.”


Suna: There is a sense of time embedded in each piece.

Fang Yang: “Yes. Time is material. Hours, days, it is repetition. Folding becomes a rhythm, almost a form of meditation. In Chinese craftsmanship, the hand carries intention. Without patience, there is no integrity.”


Suna: The restraint is striking. Nothing feels excessive.

Fang Yang: “I am not interested in spectacle. I am interested in longevity, in pieces that reveal themselves slowly. Simplicity is never simple. Every line, every fold, every shadow must justify itself.”


Suna: And the response?

Fang Yang: “In China, there remains a deep respect for handwork. Even now, people understand the value of time and discipline. Internationally, that understanding is growing. There is a renewed appreciation for precision and for work that carries meaning.”


Suna: This piece feels controlled yet emotionally resonant.

Fang Yang: “Emotion comes from intention. Black, white and red are our anchors. A touch of blue introduces life. The folds move across the body with purpose. Even the smallest detail must belong.”


Suna: It feels almost sentient.

Fang Yang: “It should. A garment must hold presence. Every fold is a gesture, a conversation between tradition and the present moment. This is not decoration. It is thought made visible.”


“Fang Yang’s work resists immediacy. It does not demand attention, it accrues it. Through precision and patience, she constructs garments that exist beyond trend and beyond season. What remains is something rarer, a practice rooted in time, shaped by discipline and defined by a quiet, enduring clarity.”
