如影随形 (A shadow following a form)

Category
Fashion Design

Traditional Chinese culture is a treasure trove of artistry, craftsmanship, and history. Among the many exquisite traditions, shadow play and the iconic "Sheng Dan Jing Chou" puppets stand out as shining examples.

如影随形(A shadow following a form) aims to pay homage to these time-honoured art forms while incorporating them into modern fashion, thereby creating a bridge between the past and present. At the heart of this fusion lies the iconic "Sheng Dan Jing Chou" puppets, renowned for their evocative facial expressions, infusing this fashion concept with their distinctive charm. The four archetypal characters - Sheng (saint), Dan (virtuous), Jing (lively), and Chou (comic) - become wellsprings of inspiration, shaping the designs with their unique personalities. Each character archetype contributes to the kaleidoscopic diversity of the collection, offering a spectrum of styles and moods.
