The power of the heart is the true meaning of today’s trend. In this season’s fashion week, RESHAKE uses an unconventional approach to interpret the core concept of Nirvana. The representative traditional craftsmanship and clothing production methods were disrupted and reorganized, and then presented in a high fashion manner. Large pieces of embroidery interpret traditional Chinese techniques. The slogan of ‘Nirvana’, ‘Made in China’ and ‘Famous in the early days’ is a very direct and powerful presentation of the theme of the work. The design concept uses the environmental concept of second-hand clothing redesign and utilization. The design combines experimental contours with differentiated materials such as coated fabrics, PVC, and heavy-weight knitted fabrics. It shows the collision and unification of the high street fashion sense and the ‘Chinese style’.
Nowadays, the heat of following the Chinese style is getting higher and higher.
