Liu Chao FW 19/20

by Antonio IRDA

Chinese designer Liu Chao’s ready to wear is manufactured in limited pieces. It is not a surprise that his 19/20 ready to wear collection was named after M. Chao’s main interest, haute couture. Thus, in “Esprit couture” the Studio Berçot graduate accomplished his desire of marrying high-end fabrics with his sensitiveness to the French know-how. In fact, he usually proposes a ready to wear with the haute couture spirit.

For this season, he tried to combine the business women from the 80s, Peter Burns’s neutrality dress code and the French haute couture spirit together. Nonetheless, it is interesting to know that all the accessories on this runway are pieces found on the Paris flea markets, yes, even those futuristic sunglasses recalling the film Matrix.

 

 

 

Liu Chao worked with  Bamboo Art, a brand originated from a traditional publishing house with over a four-hundred-year history called “The Ten Bamboo Hall”, in order to conceive the art direction.  Rooted in unique traditional art appreciation under contemporary circumstances in China, the brand has dedicated to promote the integration between art and other industries. This collaboration, for sure, was a rather well accomplished one.
