Unawares by Designer Kevin Ng

Unawares Spring/Summer 2019 collection breaks through the preconception of modern expression with inspiration from sharp industrial design, combined with structural elements from architecture, Japanese samurai and machinery. This collection also marks the bold application of leather throughout. Teal also makes sporadic appearances on the color palette, adding to the sense of fashion and vibrancy.

This menswear collection is originally inspired by Y2K culture, which was all about the fear of future technology. Today, many people appreciate technology as the new god. "I used a comical way to dress AI as a ghost. The driverless car is moving but no one's seated, and you ask no one in the air for 'what's the weather?' I imagined a universe where AI lives."

Casting by Designer Han Xu 

The collection is about the exploration of curve, light and color. The 3D curve presented by circus performers during the show was the starting point for the entire collection and made Han interested in exploring space curves and curvature and how to combine curves with pattern cutting.
