Yingpei Studio
Pei Ying, with her label Yingpei Studio, creates garments highlighting the extroverted but introspective nature of contemporary youth. Romantic and feminine tailoring and fabrics are the mainstay of the London College of Fashion grad with her unique and captivating silhouettes.
Inspired by the ancient classic Chinese poem "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", Pei is dedicated this season to portraying the courage and perseverance of women facing ups and downs in life.
Ruffles and lace elements abound in the designs, with floral patterns decorating the dark-colored fabric.
Sirloin
Shanghai-based Sirloin is the creative baby of the Japanese-Swedish duo – Mao Usami and Alve Lagercratz. The designers, who believe in a philosophy rooted in humorous criticism of everyday life, aim to redesign the wardrobe "inside out". One concept is the design of underwear to match daily outfits.
The label's Spring/Summer 2018 collection showcased extremely asymmetrical tailoring and deliberately redundant accessories, such as three belts and two sleeves, all echo the duo's aesthetic of "stupid elegance".
