It’s a pleasure to have you here. How did Yushan and Jun meet? Was it in London while you studied there?
It was in London while we were both students in college. Yushan was from Saint Martins and Jun is from London College of Fashion after Marangoni’s study life finished.
One of you is based in Milan, and the other is in Shanghai. How’s your working progress and how do you communicate? Is there a separate role running a label?
Constantly calling everything and travelling to each other. Division of labor and coordination, exchange of ideas and progress from time to time, and then discuss and integrate. Basically, two people lead decisions together.
Could you tell us about the latest collection, <EMBRYO 胚>?
It is actually called ‘Fragments’ for the FW21 collection. “EMBRYO 胚” is a main conceptual video that we collaborate with artist and young creative blood. For FW21, we went to Jingdezhen in Shanxi province which is called porcelain capital before the collection and got hugely inspired, experienced and explored the process of porcelain making. Also we are hugely inspired by the fragility of porcelain, the material that we think it represents ‘now’.
