FENGYI TAN FW17

FENGYI TAN FW17 takes its inspiration from the concept of the “time traveller”. A brave and independent female character is created, full of curiosity for an unknown future within multiple dimensions, and who is constantly contemplating moving back and forth between the realms of the inner and outer world. The series makes use of a variety of elastic elements to express the tensile force of time, while spatial dimensions are revealed through linear segmentation of the garments attached to the body.
This season sees the development of chiffon textured cotton suits that bring greater warmth and comfort, as well as the 3D textured woollen knits. There are also down jackets with irregular segmentation that can be changed in shape via ties. Details of feminine movement are interwoven in the whole series of pieces, presenting a softer image of the time traveller.
