New designer from #Taiwan: Apu Jan

ApuJan is a newly founded designer label based in London. He has strong knitting skills to construct womenswear with an unique form. He likes to use traditional oriental elements with modern interpretation. He also likes to blend together the bold innovation with a touch of casualness

He manipulated various knitting techniques creating visually stunning yet physically fitted garments. Patterns are always simple yet imaginative. Graphics are sophisticated, but low-keyed. His clothes are daring and wearable, a best mixture of avant-garde and commercial feasibility

 These are my fave looks from the SS15 collection:

 

#Unconventional materials and forms in the SS'13 collection by #ShaoYen

 

 

 

Shao Yen is a London-based womenswear label founded in 2010 by designer Shao Yen Chen from Taiwan

Shao Yen's trademark is his experimentation with unconventional materials and form

SHAO YEN's SS' 2013 "Sitter" collection is inspired by the colourful works of Spanish surrealist Joan Miró and the peaceful portraits of the famous Chinese Emperor Qianlong by Italian Jesuit painter Giuseppe Castiglione

Synonymous for his bold use of unusual materials, the SS13 collection incorporates his iconic knitwear with elegance, seamlessly fusing cutting-edge with commercial appeal

What a find!
