FENG CHEN WANG: SS25
20th June 2024
SPRING SUMMER 25
“The porcelain luster remains the same, and the sun and moon are new again”
Time, like an invisible artisan, weaves the texture of years.
Bound by an ardent love for ancient artifacts, Feng is a collector. She often falls under the spell of their incredibly detailed texture and craftskill. Each enchanting item tempered by time, its glaze softening and deepening, narrating a beauty sculpted by time.
Like a traveler threading through time, Feng Chen Wang’s Spring Summer 2025 collection sees Wang seeking inspiration from ancient artifacts, unearthing the essential natural rhythms in material craftsmanship and silhouette design. The meticulously carved ceramics and redefined fabric textures capture the naturally occurring cracks in handcrafted clay. While feeling contemporary, they are infused with a futuristic vitality.
Bamboo, a signature element of the brand, is handwoven by artisans, transforming into light lines. The delicate veins between clothing and accessories create a tranquil and comfortable natural realm.
She adeptly employs traditional fabrics like cloud silk (xiangyun sha) and fish roe resist-dyed (yuzi xie) fabric, integrating these precious handcrafted materials into her designs to create this modern “collector’s” collection. This series encapsulates the inspirations and thoughts that have long lingered in her mind, now finally expressed.
The profound emotions expressed by the celadon green interweaves with the restraint of chestnut brown, subtly painting the imprints of time on each garment. This collection blends together the tones and essence of Chinese painting with the bustling rhythm of modernity.
The unique footwear are, in fact, her sculptural works, cleverly incorporating the crackled glaze elements of porcelain onto their surface. This is also a refresh of the UGG Tasman shoe, where the seemingly accidental imperfections in porcelain firing are given new life, stepping lightly across the boundaries of time, from the past into the future.
With this collection debuts a new capsule line, the “féng” label. The word “féng” resonates with “meet” and “sew,” sounding the same in Chinese, symbolizing the brand’s respect for and inheritance of traditional sewing techniques. It signifies Feng Chen Wang’s progress towards a higher form of craftsmanship. Every stitch seems to tell their own story and emotions, traversing the tunnel of time, awakening ancient memories, yet blooming in the present.
Through the passage of time, encountering and accompanying each other, experiencing each subtlety. The future, yet another fresh new journey.
The Collection.
