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.
