Shanghai Fashion Week: FW25-trends uit China

Almost 100 fashion brands – from emerging designers to large fashion houses – presented their collection during Shanghai Fashion Week. From minimalist and casual to avant-garde, the diversity of styles was great. Yet there were some recurring elements on the most diverse catwalks. Six HW25 trends from China.

Fringes

Franjes evolved from a decorative detail to a statement during Shanghai Fashion Week. They are a trademark of designer Xuzhi, which this year is celebrating the tenth anniversary of his label of the same name. In his HW25 collection, which he presented in the Xintiandi shop district, he played with the materiality and length. Dilt -cut Franjeranden gave dresses and skirts structure, while flowing, draped fringes created a feeling of nostalgia and drama.

The long black fringes that adorned a black blouse, different capes and a few handbags in the AW25 collection by designer Mark Gong, also provided a touch of drama. The floor-length fringes that came out of a bardot-top under the neckline emphasized and created the flowing silhouette of a red dress during the AW25 show by Samuel Guì Yang.

Fur-glamor

Mantels and Jacks from Bont gave the looks with Mark Gong and Huunruirul extra glamor, where the type varied – hopefully it was about fake fur. The same applied to the long fur stolas that could be seen at NMTG. For its AW25 collection, the label was inspired by the Evenken, a nomadic group that lives in Binnen-Mongolia and Siberia and whose traditional clothing also contains fur elements.

Space colors

The Weiræn label found the inspiration for its AW25 collection in a distant world, somewhere between the future and space. Colors from silver metallic to icy white shades place the outfits between technological and futuristic fantasies.

Other labels such as the Vietnamese LSOUL and Billiondevon also presented cosmic -looking looks, accentuated by clear purple and gray hues. At Billiondevon that is no surprise, because behind the brand is also the imaginary alien girl Billion with her cat Devon.

Spießer-Chic

Many collections were killer and more modest than before. Waxed jackets, structured checkered blazers and weather -resistant outerwear would not be worn out of necessity by contemporary Urban Youth, but as protection against the setbacks of unstable modern life, according to the Private Policy Show Members. The Romantica did not romantize these traditional items of clothing, but played with the dress codes through subversive details. A simple fabric dress with grenade bags inspired by military uniforms was given a contemporary touch due to sewn -in metal rings.

The AO Yes label also broke the bourgeoisness of a gray cloak -inspired gray cloak with the typical Chinese illustration of a stylized orchid. A hidden cat further released these traditional references. In addition to weather -resistant coats, thick knitted items are added, in addition to weather -resistant jackets, the WMWM Song label must offer protection against the whims of the weather and life. Under the protective outer layer, however, delicate details such as a pink lace silk blouse may also shine through.

Mysterious earth

Two brands can hardly differ from each other anymore. The Shanghaise label Hemu designs clothing inspired by East Asian traditions and Oude Waag is the label of Jingwei Yin, an alumnus of the London fashion academies that worked for designers Haider Ackermann and Hussein Chalayan. Yet their color palette overlapped with the deep, mysterious earth tones – but with very different effects. At Hemu they created a historical connection with an imaginary past, and at Oude Waag the shades made sure that the gaze was grounded. They did not give attention, but they established it on the refined details and daring cuts. In Jarelzhang, on the other hand, the dusk intertwines, together with the asymmetrical cuts, served for the exploration of perception’s changeability, the shadow between reality and idea.

3D-Dons

Different brands explored the sculptural potential of downwear during Shanghai Fashion Week. With the AWR label there were no limits on the Silhouettes of the Donsjacks: a black-red down dress with huge dracula collar was followed by a long purple Donscape with trumpet sleeves and a brown-pink balloon-shaped puffer jacket with matching oversized randen.

The clothing brand Sanqiang, founded in 1937, presented striking X-shaped down festks for his 88th collection, and Jarelzhang also played with the forms of a puffer jacket through light bulges on the sleeves.
