Ziggy Chen Spring/Summer '24 Paris Fashionweek

Ziggy Chen showcased his Spring/Summer '24 collection called 'Inadvertency' in Palais de Tokyo during Paris Mens Fashionweek. We absolutely loved the concept of the presentation; models slowly walking by, continuously moving around in the aesthetic white venue with just two chairs for a short break. No music and a a diversity of not-your-average models, intensified the experience and reinforced the collection as well as the the unique niche of the brand.

For the Spring Summer 2024, Ziggy Chen continues his research into fabrics and shapes, presenting a collection that revolves around the concept of spontaneity. A man with a relaxed and natural attitude who dresses casually is "Inadvertency'. 

Naturalness is investigated by the designer through fabrics, colours and details, with an eye towards comfort. Ziggy Chen refers to the collage technique; covers of ancient books and old pieces of fabric, coming from his private collection, have been cut and reassembled to give life to the pattern of the Spring/Summer collection. The fabrics of the collection are the result of careful experimentation; various techniques such as yarn dyeing, washing, over-dyeing and printing are applied to the fabrics made by playing with different types and counts of threads, to create different thicknesses and textures. The materials used reveal a sense of spontaneity, with an intriguing contrast between the male and female parts of the collection. Linen/ hemp and ramie for the men’s section express a sense of simplicity, while silk and viscose emphasize the drapes in the women’s section. 

New Shades enrich the collection colours; alongside the characteristic mud browns and olive greens, find a faded blue, inspired by chinese workwear item from the 1940s, with a beautiful patina created by decades of use, Each element that characterize the collection represents ‘Inadvertency' ‘in its own way. With this collection, Ziggy Chen carries on and deepens his vision of reality; like a flow that slowly progresses, revisiting the past through the study and use of innovative techniques applied to fabrics, colours and prints.
