COLLECTION 21.1 - ‘MOREAU’
2021
Hanoi, Vietnam
Our first collection of 2021 at TRANG HOANG - ‘Moreau’ - took inspiration from the novel The Island of Dr. Moreau by the English author H.G.Wells. Travelling back to the 19th century Victorian England, the collection features pieces that pay homage to classic garments like the tailored suit, the car coat, the buttoned-up dresses with key silhouettes like the slim waist and curve-hugging forms.
The theme of questioning the duality of human nature and were translated into cuts, slashes and slicing of surfaces to expose beautiful textures underneath. A classic suit made of wool and faux-leather referenced one’s animality and rationality. A juxtaposed dress of drapings and crisp pleating explores chaos and order co-existing.
Modernity is also present through innovative jacquard and fresh poplin-cotton. A breath of the East flows through locally sourced, handspun Vietnamese raw silks and silk damask. The collection juxtaposes the old and the new, classicism and modernity, the West and the East.
A trans-seasonal collection, featuring everyday pieces for all occasions from workday at the office, online meetings or going out.
