SABRINA HSIEH

SABRINA HSIEH AW19 COLLECTION “QUIRKY YOUTH” WAS INFLUENCED BY THE BLACK COMEDY FILM ‘HEATHERS’. THE FILM FOLLOWS A HIGH SCHOOL CLIQUE OF THREE GIRLS BY THE NAME OF HEATHER THROUGH A SERIES OF STRANGE EVENTS. THIS TWISTED AND RIDICULOUS MOVIE EXPLORES THE CONFUSION AND ANXIETY THAT YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCE IN LIFE. THIS MOVIE REMINDS US THAT EVERYONE HAS EXPERIENCED TROUBLING TIMES DURING THEIR YOUTH, BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ONES. THOSE EXPERIENCES BECOME MEMORIES AND A PART OF US GROWING UP.

POP CULTURE TRENDS INFLUENCED THIS COLLECTION SUCH AS COLORFUL CANDIES LIKE JELLY BEANS AND RINGS POPS, WHICH REMINDS US OF OUR COLORFUL AND SWEET YOUTH MOMENTS. WHILE THE WILD SIDE OF OUR YOUTH IS INFLUENCED BY POP ROCKS. THE SURREAL PRINTS OF THIS COLLECTION ARE USED FOR THE ENTIRE STYLE AS WELL AS ADDING AN EXTRA POP TO OTHER STYLES. THE USE OF THE OVERLY POPULAR DRAMATIC SHOULDER PADS OF THE 80S WITH A FITTED SILHOUETTE IS THE SHAPE CONCEPT OF THIS COLLECTION, WHILE THE FABRIC USED IS THAT OF A SCHOOL GIRL LOOK WITH A TOUCH OF CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE.

THE AW19 COLLECTION’S PROPORTION OF THE PRINTS IN THE STYLES ARE SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED FROM PREVIOUS SEASONS WITH SPURTS OF PLAID AND KNITTED FABRICS. THE FABRICS USED THIS SEASON ARE WOOL, MOHAIR, FAUX FUR, VISCOSE, VELVET, NEOPRENE, AND METALLIC FABRICS THAT BRING OUT A DISCO FEEL. BY COMBINING THE FABRICS USED AND THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS COLLECTION, IT CAN TRANSPORT US BACK TO THE GLORIOUS ’80S.
