Ziggy Chen SS24 Inadvertency

Ziggy Chen introduces his highly anticipated Spring Summer 24 collection, aptly named Inadvertency. Building upon his relentless exploration of fabrics and shapes, Ziggy Chen presents a captivating ensemble that revolves around the concept of spontaneity.

Prints and patterns

This season, he showcases his mastery of the printing technique used in his SS20 collection, Collagemory. Here ancient books and vintage fabrics are transformed into mesmerizing patterns through cutting and reassembling. The innovative use of print, including yarn dying and over dyeing, showcases Chen's versatility and artistic vision.

New color palette inspired by 1940’s Chinese workwear

The Inadvertency collection takes a holistic approach by featuring natural fibers that harmoniously complement the overarching theme of spontaneity. Chen's meticulous attention to detail is evident as he expands his color palette, introducing additional shades of mud brown, olive greens, and faded blue. These hues draw inspiration from Chinese workwear of the 1940s, adding a touch of historical significance to the collection.

PFW presentation

Inadvertency is a testament to Ziggy Chen's artistic prowess and unwavering dedication to innovation. With this collection, he invites fashion enthusiasts to embrace the beauty of unplanned moments and revel in the spontaneous nature of life.

And this spontaneous approach reverberates in the captivating presentation of his collection during Paris Fashion Week. Ziggy Chen chose the esteemed Palais de Tokyo as the venue, utilizing one of its spacious rooms adorned with abundant natural lighting. Embracing the essence of Inadvertency, the collection was unveiled through a spontaneous presentation that defied conventional runway shows.

Models, elegantly dressed in Ziggy Chen's new collection, gracefully moved throughout the room with casual poise. Their movements, walks, and spontaneous poses created an atmosphere of authentic spontaneity, blurring the lines between models and attendees. This unique approach ensured that some of the guests were initially unaware that they were in the presence of models and that the presentation itself was unfolding before their eyes.

The absence of a traditional runway and the relaxed nature of the models' movements allowed the audience to immerse themselves fully in the collection. Attendees were encouraged to engage with the garments up close, observing their intricate details and appreciating the craftsmanship firsthand. The spontaneous presentation created an intimate connection between the attendees and the collection, fostering an atmosphere of shared discovery and excitement.
