Following a couture extravaganza last year, Chen Peng takes a transformative leap for the Fall/Winter 2024 season, delving into a journey of introspection that honours life's ephemeral beauty. Captured through the lens of the photographer Erwan Filidori, the collection unfolds in two striking hues: the fiery red of passion and danger and the enigmatic black of mystery and reverence. The designer takes us on an emotional rollercoaster to contemplate the complexity of human emotions.
Peng's traditional tailoring once again takes centre stage, paying tribute to his late father and the challenges the designer faced through 2023. Each piece is meticulously crafted, seamlessly merging his signature style with cutting-edge down jacket techniques. From classic dinner suits to sleek Derbies, the garments complement the bold hats, echoing the designer's codes and reverence for craftsmanship. Inspired by the art of Jing De Zhen and her formative years, the collection also features bold gowns reminiscent of bisque shapes and voluminous silhouettes from the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Adorned with shimmering and floral crystals, these gowns become luminous embodiments of cherished memories, reflecting the fleeting beauty of life.
