Jamie Wei Huang AW18 at London Fashion Week

Titled 'To All the Hearts That Dream' AW 18 is inspired by 1990's Hong Kong, the golden era of the entertainment industry. The legendary figures of the industry revolutionised a new peak. The time was driven by courage, deep longing, and that almost young and foolish fearlessness hearts.A time that feels like it wasn't all that long ago, but the nostalgia it brings is a reminder of what's been missing now.

 Jamie expresses this with a bold colour palette of reds, bright blues and yellows

Denim is fresh and youthful with frayed edges around large patch pockets and  open slits exposing the knees on loose wide leg jeans.

Corduroy shone brightly in  hot mustard yellows,

But then also was present in the usual neutral colours of tan and light blues to allow sweatshirts with open elbows and drawstrings to shine


These sweat shirts were subtly embossed with JWH AW18, initially not noticeable due to the mono colour.


.Colour block jumpers were adorned with frills or tied at the front  with woollen half belts.

 Chunkier high neck jumpers were embellished with abstract designs. One of which looked like a crinkle crisp falling out of a crisp packet

Sportswear look included a tracksuit with harem style baggy pants and long kagool style coat

Tartan joined forces with denim and colourful faux fur to create patchwork jackets.

And also stood alone on a drawstring coat and kagool style jacket

The Prince of Wales check featured on the more tailored but deconstructed pieces

Accessories included double bumbags and metallic leather pouch bags embossed with JWH AW18.

Jamie Wei Huang SS18 Collection at London Fashion Week

Titled 'DEW' Jamie Wei Huang's SS18 collection is inspired by the indigenous Taiwanese tribes and their ancient stories.
The record of the story is expressed in the pink stripes and colourful glass beads.

The journey began with scattered stones contrasting on a soft and delicate coloured stripe,

plain blue and beige denim with geometric silhouettes,

 flat beads and thick coloured lines.

A woman stitched all her treasures onto the back of her daughter's garment so the spirits will think it was her front from far away and will protect the daughter

Buttons are prominent as Huang's mother used to go into the city and exchanged cloth she woved for buttons. She sewed these buttons on to her wedding dress as precious decorations, proud to take the first photograph of her life.


Huang collaborates with jewellery designer Niza Huang who crafted the inspiration into contemporary pieces.

Jamie Wei: Huang SS16 at London Fashion Week


Titled Nibbana meaning the concept of afterlife.


This journey is unravelled through intricate details, metal trimmings, geometric cutting and a delicate combination of materials.


The collection is an amalgamation of how different countries, languages, religions and cultures picture their afterlife whether it be heaven and hell, or bliss and suffering.


Thoughts of heaven are illustrated with lighter woven white fabrics in floaty silhouettes


Harsh reds and cobalt blues symbolise the seven circles of hell.


Jacquard prints are used in two colourways to enhance the story with bold devil images manipulated on strong biker jackets, statement bracelets and straight leg trousers.

Strong elongated silhouettes constructed in a feminine way with a careful juxtaposition of fabrics to cater to the modern woman.
