i-am-chen SS19 at Fashion Scout during London Fashion Week

This Hong Kong based fashion knitwear brand founded by ZHI Chen is the winner of the SS19 coveted Merit Award

 Watching the Vietnamese film ‘The Scent of Green Papaya’ Chen was inspired by how the main character Mui finds beauty in the small details of her surroundings: water droplets on a leaf and speckled sunlight through the undergrowth.

 The green foliage and nourishing rain are the spirit of Chen’s SS19 collection.

 She introduces the finest silk knit using an 18 gauge knitting machine with Japanese superfine silk yarn. Knitted together with Italian translucent yarn the result creates pieces shimmering like speckled sunlight.

The collection is colourful and youthful bringing a fun element to knitwear.

Fashion Hong Kong presents: Maison Vermillion AW18 at London Fashion Week

The British Fashion Council has partnered with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council as the latter brings four of its native designers to the fore at London Fashion Week.
One of the labels is Maison Vermillion created by Dora Chu.

Titled  ‘The Greatest of Thee’  Dora’s inspiration came from the love affair between King Henry VIII of England and Anne Boleyn in the 15th century. Boleyn's unique character, intelligence and charm, in the modern interpretation, epitomises the power of feminism – especially relevant in the current climate. Subtle floral patterns and lace applique are balanced by Tudor and modern silhouettes.

Dora collaborated with the famous paper-cutting artist Li Yunxia to combine two delicate skills – Western lace-making with the traditional Chinese art of papercutting – to create one-of-a-kind, wearable art.
