Drawing inspiration from the colourful works by Scottish artist Tim Braden, Malaysian designer Cassey Gan has dissolved and reassembled her world in her AW19 collection, Pixelated.
Colourfully vivid brushstrokes take the form of pattern heavy, non-form fitting garments that reveal a new layers of Gan’s evocative work.
Known for loose-fitting silhouettes, original prints, and lightweight textiles, Cassey Gan explores thicker fabrics for the first time.
Video of the presentation:
Her colour pallet of blues, olives, maroons and mustards build the collection alongside wool and padded fabrics.
The collection uses innovative shapes and heavy layering,.
Comfort and style are of equal importance for the label -aiming for a timeless modern appeal,
Influenced also by the impossible pace of the fashion industry and the inevitable changes rooted in the digital age, Gan harnesses her frustration at the speed which designers must now work into a furious and interconnected collection. Drawing from the incomplete and elided images of the collection’s verbal namesake, Pixelated comments on the love-hate paradox Gan sees in contemporary fashion. As speed increases, precision sometimes falters, leaving Cassey Gan’s Pixelated to recombine the pieces into a meaningful statement about the contemporary moment

Cassey Gan SS19 at London Fashion Week
Malaysian label Cassey Gan celebrates individuality with clothes that are graphic and unpredictable.
In an ongoing dialogue with the art world –the designs are inspired by David Hockney -This series is mostly inspired by his Ipad series as well as his polaroid collages series.
Cassey Gan’s silhouettes are constructed with flowing structure and oversized shape, giving a constant free movement to each garment.
The offbeat style is continued through the collection with print blocking which meticulously meld together like a puzzle with considered elements including detachable layers.
Every piece in the collection can be paired with one another –a pallet of staple pieces creating a functional, relaxed and flamboyant wardrobe.
Cassey Gan’s innate experimental nature is evident in this season’s printing on different weights of cotton derived from Thailand.
