FENG CHEN WANG

Feng Chen Wang's eponymous brand offers menswear that is minimal, conceptual and, above all, clearly forward-looking. Born in Beijing, Wang presented her first collection in 2015 after graduating from the Royal College of Art in London, and made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week in 2016 with a spring/summer collection of striking color and tailoring. Her outerwear has since earned wide acclaim for its original direction: anoraks, bombers and puffer jackets in pale pastels and glossy finishes use volume, carefully exaggerated proportions and textural accents to express an originality that sets them apart from conventional streetwear. Hoodies, sweatshirts and turtlenecks use the same detail-driven approach, with distinctive dropped shoulders that reject the conventional tailoring of masculine menswear and suggest a gender-free, futuristic sensibility. Vivid orange pieces provide contrast within collections of otherwise restrained color.
