Claudia Wang’s Autumn/Winter 2022 Collection debut, takes us on a fantastical journey of reimagined fictional fables transformed into print designs, as she intertwines references to Classic of Mountain & Sea an Ancient Chinese mythology text, and Taiwanese regional folklore.

The integration of virtual technology with creativity helps to combine the juxtaposing graphic print and patterns inspired by modern Taiwanese culture.

 

The integration of virtual technology with creativity helps to combine the juxtaposing graphic print and patterns inspired by modern Taiwanese culture.

The key inspiration behind AW22 is a reference to ancient Chinese mythology text - ‘Classic of Mountains and Seas’ a fabulous geographical and cultural compilation of fables on geography and beasts. The exotic beasts from the text were reimagined and transformed into 13 different fictional creatures which embellished the prints throughout the collection adding a sense of fantasy.

The silhouette is relaxed, featuring sporty and casual cocooned shapes, oversize trench coats and unisex styles. Prints dominate heavily throughout the collection and Claudia Wang continues to explore using eco-friendly dyes that can maintain colour vibrancy but at the same time minimising production wastage.

By injecting a modern spirit of Taiwanese culture, Claudia Wang ensures the collection is unique, contemporary, and very fun to wear.
