ARTIST STATEMENT PEIYING WU A/W 2019/20
This collection explores the synchronicity of being structural and being organic and it is a salute to the Japanese band L’Arc-en-Ciel, especially the lead vocalist Hyde, who presented elaborate stage fashion styles ranging from converted geisha costumes to pirate dressed in an ecru linen robe. The target customers are those who have great sensitivity for art, lead a quality life with selective ways of recreation and always keep a juvenile even childlike heart with full curiosity towards the world regardless of the growth of ages. The color and material story takes inspiration from the color palette and textures of film photography. They include natural ecru and sky cyan with coarse touch, bluish purple and off white in a smooth texture, red with high saturation and low brightness, monochrome plants print as well as golden brown and black. Architecture structures that consist of repetitive organization of building blocks immensely impact on the silhouettes and constructions of the garments in this collection. To create structural silhouettes with organic effect, the designer has kept the techniques of fabric manipulation and seaming methods to most of the simplicity by utilizing cutting splits and making knots. To satisfy the target customers who always live with a juvenile or childlike heart, most pieces from this collection show a strong attribute of being non gender specific and fluidity between masculinity and femininity. Paper folding and metalwork installation are further sources for the designer to transform into garments’ details. The balance between the dramatic tension of dressing up and the easiness of dressing down is achieved in this collection. Three-dimensional asymmetry is embedded into the clear-cut blazers, overcoats, and dresses that which make a statement of being inspired by Hyde’s stage looks. Color stripes, ribbed knits, and thin pleats are anther implication of architectural structure, and they are intermixed with Japanese floral printed black fabrics and off white jacquards with silver plants patterns, which bring organic vibes to the garments. Furthermore, the collection tries to reserve the sense of vagueness and ambiguity, in order to reflect the traits of human’s process of emotion production, as well as the haziness and utmost fragility of social relationships, which are the constantly emerging doubts of the target customers of this collection who are never mentally grown up.
