A must of the asian design map, the taiwanese Shiatzy Chen defines herself as a representative of China’s new look, always influenced by the best craftsmanship and fashion from the east and the west.
During the parade it’s as if we were briefly going through the universal history of fashion thanks to endless reminiscences from chinese and baroque tradition, rock, romantic europe… an exciting journey, almost epic, in which borders are crossed and new aesthetic links are established between rich materials, embroideries and other artisan techniques, shapes and colors: a whole cornucopia of design. This timeless inquiry through classic decorated silk coats, all kinds of chinese iconography and even garments with metallic effect is the original adaptation on the catwalk of an essential work of chinese literature of the 16th century, journey to the west, probably her most rule-breaking expression.
