Feng Chen Wang AW22 Campaign

Beauty is found in imperfection, so goes an old adage, which underlines the Autumn/Winter 2022 Feng Chen Wang collection.
This season, the Chinese-born designer has been reflecting on that sense of never completing something, never being fully happy with it; always starting, never stopping, and never finishing. But instead of resisting this feeling, Wang decided to embrace it - and built an entire collection around it.
The new collection campaign is, in signature Feng Chen Wang style, jointly inspired by ancient Chinese painting scrolls and polyptych paintings of the Renaissance period. A series of images that naturally flow from one to the other to form a scrolling, interconnected collective of individuals. Each image is sliced and seems unfinished on its own, yet harmoniously unites to the next, in the same way as how the Feng Chen Wang’s signature deconstructionism design technique is expressed on each garment. The unfinished highlighted. The incomplete embraced.

“This campaign is a perfect echo of Feng Chen Wang’s legacy: unfolding towards a global future. Seemingly incomplete but merely a snapshot of a continuously dynamic brand”

Tailoring this season is still deconstructed and features sections cut from different materials: from wool - plain and pinstriped - to nylon, in what is a futuristic clash of colour and texture. Wang looks to Fujian lacquerware from her hometown, transposing that galaxy-like pattern onto jackets, shirts and shorts - to a slightly psychedelic effect. Hand-dyed pieces, crafted from black and yellow ochre tie-dye fabric, which carries a distinctly autumnal, but again, slightly trippy feel. Plant dyes are used throughout the collection and, in a further bid to encourage people to think more sustainably. Wang has designed several garments that can be worn in multiple ways. One jacket, for example, has sleeves that can be detached. Versatility, designed into the garments, is a foil against fast fashion, for a more sustainable wardrobe.
This season, the designer reinvents a signature Feng Chen Wang design element, the phoenix motif - which translates to ‘feng’ in Chinese, and is a symbol of luck. Appearing alongside the ‘FCW’ logo, this graphic features on jackets and jumpers, brooches and scarves.
“This season, I love the idea of embracing and finding beauty in our inter-connectedness, in nature, societies and our own selves. Perfectly incomplete. Imperfectly complete.” notes Feng.
The new Autumn Winter 2022 Feng Chen Wang collection is now available at fengchenwang.com and major stockists.
