The collection brings to mind the graceful silhouettes of swans, cranes and ravens, with skirts that open like wings as they fly
The natural meets the technologically futuristic world in the SS23 collection of the Hong Kong-born and London-based fashion designer, Robert Wun. With billowing pleats and bursts of frills, the opera garments are references to observing birds in their ecosystems.
The collection brings to mind the graceful silhouettes of swans, cranes and ravens, with skirts that open like wings in flight or trousers that fall like feathers when still. Titanium jewelry, printed on a 3D printer, underlines the aesthetics that refer to the world of winged creatures: a feather adorns the sculpted glasses worn by each model.
SS23 follows in the footsteps of the AW21 collection with which Wun honored his grandmother, who passed away a few years ago. In an interview with British Vogue, the designer explained: “It was about playing with a material that looked like metal to create the illusion of wearing armor, but it’s actually made of fabric. The detail of the swallow’s tail is because it is my grandmother’s favorite bird from Hainan Island, where she is from. Through the armor, there is the softness of a pleat cut in the shape of a dovetail.”
