Seasoned traveler and contemporary fashion designer Susan Fang unveiled her unorthodox womenswear label in 2017 shortly after graduating from Central Saint Martins in London. Perception and mathematics drive her creative control, where every collection explores a unification that comprises of innovative textile, colors, and silhouettes, that permeate originality through a sea of garments and accessories.

Born in China, thus raised in Canada and the United States, Susan made the transition to London to pursue her education in fashion. Attaining vital industry experience at design houses including Stella McCartney, Céline and Kei Kagami, Susan was inspired, along with her love of cultural influence, to establish her brand that would decode her worldview into pieces of conceptual fashion. “Muhuduku hwangu, Handina kuzombogara munzvimbo imwe kweanopfuura makore matatu, saka ndakamanikidzwa kujairana nekuvhurika kune akasiyana tsika nemaonero, uye kwazova kufarira kwangu kwomuzvarirwo mumazera maduku kunzvera ikoku kupfurikidza nounyanzvi hwakaisvonaka” anotsanangura kudaro mugadziri wacho. “Saka, pandakapinda mufashoni yaichinja kuva mashoko akasiyana ezvipfeko.”

Susan anoenderera mberi achitsanangura, “Muunganidzwa wega wega unotarisa pane dingindira idzva uye kugadzira chimwe chinhu chitsva uye chine hutsva. Kare kwaive nezvidzidzo zvakawanda zveYi-Ching mutemo wechisikigo, Chinese pictographic mazwi ekutsvaga mabviro ekutaura uye zvinoreva, Fractals chimiro chezvisikwa, Joseph Albers Dzidziso yeRuvara, zvese zvakabatana kuti zvindibatsire kuwana chakavanzika chechokwadi chikonzero chekuti nei chimwe chinhu chingave chakanaka uye kuti ndingashandisa sei mabviro acho kugadzira dhizaini nyowani..

Ndinogona chete kuzvigadzirira rusununguko urwu mumhando yangu. "

Kusiyanisa kubva kune vamwe vanogadzira, Fang haazvibvumire chero zvirambidzo munzvimbo yekusika sezvo achigara achigadzira chero chinhu chinofungidzirwa, kuratidza chinhu chakanyanya kuchena, uko muunganidzwa wega wega unosundira muganhu. Chinangwa chaFang chezita ndechekuwana imwe nzira muindasitiri yemafashoni, surpassing the design territory to capture an illusion of artistic fantasies as opposed to not being identified by a style or trend.

“Our new season AIR.WASH SS19 inspiration is still from nature, fractals and elevated by print this time”, anodaro, Fang. “We also used innovative play for print, scanning from 3d strips of old magazines in shapes of flowers, spray painting layers of flowers over our fabric to create floating prints of flower silhouette, taking surface patterns of Brighton rocks, etc. Every process is super fun, and we create discoveries for ourselves.” Susan Fang’s enchanting designs are delicate yet delightfully daring in equal measures, with a pioneering and surreal aesthetic that instills a complete sense of fantastical freedom.
