Whenever and wherever you are, the word "return" often represents a pleasant mood and atmosphere. After 3 years on the International Fashion Week runway, SHIATZY CHEN is finally looking forward to her magnificent return.
At 12:30 p.m. Paris time on March 6, SHIATZY CHEN's Fall/Winter 2023/2024 Womenswear Show was held at Palais de Tokyo, the center of modern art in Paris.
THIS IS SHIATZY CHEN'S FIRST IN-PERSON FASHION SHOW SINCE THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC IN EARLY 2020. Therefore, this season, as the return of the brand and the "highlight of the brand's 45th birthday", the SHIATZY CHEN Fall/Winter 2023/2024 collection embeds the most exquisite aesthetics and deepest feelings of the Eastern nation in the birthplace of the most classic culture in the West.
Spectators can enjoy the beautiful symbiosis of East and West in the design, and the unprecedented emotional pouring of the brand design director Ms. Wang Chen Caixia's works is refreshing.
In order to celebrate this special and grand moment of SHIATZY CHEN, the SHIATZY CHEN 2023/2024 Fall/Winter Show invited film superstar and Golden Globe actress Michelle Yeoh, as well as Liu Yu, captain of the international boy singing group INTO 1, to the scene. Such a lineup also fits the theme background of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.
Love silk is woven into splendid embroidery, and chords are composed into chapters. SHIATZ CHEN'S FALL/WINTER COLLECTION IS THEMED "LOTUS COTTON", INSPIRED BY THE PURSE EMBROIDERED BY ANCIENT CHINESE WOMEN AND GIVEN TO THEIR BELOVED.

As soon as you hear this theme, you can see how eye-catching the oriental romance is.
SHIATGY CHEN'S BRAND DESIGN DIRECTOR, MS. WANG CHEN CAIXIA, GAVE THE OVERALL SILHOUETTE OF THE CHINESE PURSE LIKE AN ATRIUM, AND THE ROUNDED LINES OF ORIENTAL TRADITIONAL CLOTHING EXTEND TO THE CUT SHAPE, COLLAR PLACKET, POCKET COVER, ETC., AND TWINS WITH WESTERN FASHION ELEMENTS IN THE ROUNDED SILHOUETTE.
It should be worn with a Western-style flashy court vest cut with an elegant Chinese diagonal placket; The elegant horse-faced skirt swayed with the steps, and in a blink of an eye, the Western-style romance of the low-waist wavy skirt struck again; The graceful elegance of the literati Tang costume reflects the ornate and uninhibited Western-style knight's coat...
Love and type, east and west, two looking at each other, twins and twins. SHIATZY CHEN'S NEW SEASON COLLECTION IS A JOYFUL SYMPHONY OF INSPIRATION, OUTLINING THE BEAUTY AND SPIRIT OF THE CLOTHES IN THE CONTINUOUS AFFECTION.
THE MATERIAL ASPECT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FEATURE THAT SHIATZ CHEN IS PROUD OF. This season, Chinese dresses are made of Western-inspired tweed and metallic tassel threads, volumetric down jackets with moire embroidery lines, or traditional titi cloth with classic baroque patterns.
SHIATZ CHEN'S BEST EMBROIDERY ELEMENTS STAND OUT IN THIS COLLECTION. The designer superimposed innovative hand-embroidery techniques through classic embroidery techniques to interpret gorgeous patterns such as phoenixes, peonies and delicate full-plate Ruyi moires symbolizing the wealth and auspicious fortune of the Orient.
This season's opening version depicts the magnificent scene of the white rabbit riding the phoenix through the vast mountains and seas and rushing to the bright vista, which not only conveys the joy of returning to prosperity to the world, but also shocks us when watching the show with rich and three-dimensional visual changes and real and delicate texture.
SHIATZY CHEN'S FUSION OF CHINESE AESTHETICS AND WESTERN CULTURE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF EXPLORATION. From gorgeous ready-to-wear to shoes and bags, Ms. Wang Chen Caixia has always been committed to bringing oriental charm to the world. Handbags have become the most divine and tangible item in this season's "Lotus Mian" series.
Inspired by the warm "jade" material beloved by oriental women, Ms. Wang Chen Caixia, the brand design director, uses the jade bracelet as the handle of the purse-shaped handbag to integrate classical charm and modern three-dimensional line sense, and the jade bracelet handle design is just the right luxury atmosphere to make the handbag more exquisite;
There are also other "purse handbags" that are deformed and multi-purpose models released at the same time, each with its own fusion of design ingenuity, reflecting the multiple ways in which the new generation can express itself.
The design of the shoes is inspired by flat shoes with the image of "free your feet", and the free style of thick soles and round silhouettes seems to be the opposite of the "lotus" theme intertwined with silk, but in fact, it can also interpret the profound connotation of "starting from the heart", bringing hope and upward energy to a new start for the new season and the new world.
A playful collision of East and West culture took place in Paris. As one of the important bridges of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, SHIATZY CHEN has always been committed to exploring the exquisite aesthetics and deep feelings of Eastern peoples, and the way forward for integration and intertwining with Western civilization. This year marks the brand's 45th birthday, what kind of cultural innovations will SHIATZY CHEN and Brand Design Director Ms. Wang Chen Caixia bring us in the future? It is worth looking forward to together.
