“Sign Of The Times“
In the East, all things are measured by the passage of the year, represented by the cycle of seasons. For humans, ten years form a decade and a decade constitutes a generation.
Throughout the changes of the times, influenced by various factors such as socio-economics, environment, and perspective, each generation develops a unique ideology. Clothing, as a product of societal needs and a significant manifestation of human consciousness, reveals indelible imprints left by fashion trends of different eras.
SEAN SUEN’s 2024 Autumn/Winter collection reflects on the fashion development in the East, tracing back to the golden era of the older generation—a decade filled with exploration, rebellious spirit, and endless possibilities. It was the arrival of the new era, where Eastern and Western cultures rapidly interacted and converged. Diverse and aesthetic aspirations awakened in self-consciousness, leading people to crave art, embrace art, and recreate art. Fashion, in its highly diffusive form, carried unprecedented freshness and strength, flourishing in this era.
Sean Suen pays homage to the classics of his time, reinterpreting and presenting iconic fashion pieces like wool suits, oversized coats, and handmade knits. Vibrant colors and elaborate men’s accessories clash with the steady and plain “black, gray, brown, green“ color tones. Through the deconstruction and juxtaposition of fashion structures, along with strong contrasts in tones and hues, the collection resonates with the urgent, rebellious, and non-conformist spirit of that generation, contemplating the inseparable connection between human consciousness and the evolution of eras.
We witness, inherit, and shape every great era.
“大时代印记”
在东方，于物，一年为载，取万物终而更始；于人，十载为旬，以旬计岁为一代。
纵观时代的变迁，受不同的社会经济、环境、观念种种因素的影响，形成了属于那一代代人独有的意识形态，而服装作为社会需要的产物，以及人类意识的重要呈现载体之一，透过它得以看到不同时代风尚留下的不可磨灭的印记。
SEAN SUEN 2024秋冬系列，回望东方的时装发展进程，在我们懵懂的记忆中追寻到属于父辈们的黄金时代—饱含探索欲望、反叛精神与无限可能的十载。彼时，于他们而言，是新时代的来临，东西方文化加速互动与并轨，多样性与多元化的审美诉求在自我意识中觉醒，人们渴望艺术、拥抱艺术、再创造艺术。因此，时装以极具扩散性的姿态，裹挟着前所未有的新鲜感与力量感，在这个时代恣意生长蔓延…
Sean Suen以致敬之态汲取其时代的经典元素，重新解构与演绎羊毛西装、廓形外套与手工针织等标志性时装单品，在造型间以高饱和度的彩色内搭与华丽璀璨的男士饰品，对撞沉稳朴质的“黑、灰、棕、绿”大色调。通过服装结构反体制的破与立、色调与色相的强对比，共鸣那一代人迫切的、叛逆的以及不墨守成规的精神内核，思考人类意识与时代更迭间密不可分的联系。
我们，见证、传承、造就每一个大时代。
