Feng Chen Wang AW25 show, Paris Fashion Week

2,500 years ago, a masterpiece called Shan Hai Jing captured the world’s imagination. It painted vivid pictures of majestic landscapes, fantastical creatures, and mysterious realms that teetered on the edge of dreams and reality. Its origins and authorship remain a mystery, but it stands as a testament to ancient China’s boundless imagination and curiosity about the unknown. For Feng, the wonder and curiosity of childhood never faded. In fact, they grew over time. Inspired by her roots in Chinese art and culture, she spent her early years immersed in calligraphy and traditional painting, surrounded by ink, paper, and brushes. These tools naturally aided her in transforming endless inspiration into tangible forms. The Feng Chen Wang Autumn/Winter 2025 collection echoes the spirit of Shan Hai Jing, capturing the designer’s unique vision for the season. At its heart are mythical beasts, reimagined as handcrafted ceramic sculptures in collaboration with the artisans from China’s ceramic capital, Jingdezhen. These “Feng-esque creatures”, with their flowing glazes and fragile forms, embody a harmony of perfection and imperfection, a detail well-adored by the designer. Their prints appear throughout the collection – woven into fabrics, printed onto designs, and emerging from earthy tones and vintage denim.
