Malaysian born fashion designer Pearly Wong
launched her eponymous label in 2012, after graduating from Fashion
Institute of Technology in New York. In the same year she was awarded
with the “My Fashion Pitch”, by MyCreative Ventures, which contributed
to the success and rise of her newly founded label. The label made
itself a name in South East Asia due to its multifunctional, monochrome
garments. It was the second time that the label presented its
collections during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin.
It impresses with its edgy, unique style. You can find Pearly Wongs’
collections in LNFA Concept Store in Berlin, but also in stores in
Singapore, Malaysia and China. Berlin as a city seems to be the perfect
addition for Pearly Wongs’ creations: eclectic, creative and highly
innovative. The 27 pieces of her SS16 collection can be seen as unisex
fashion and the cuts are kept rather straight. Contrary elements are
often paired in one look: heavy buckles and haphazard zippers meet clean
garments. That contributes to the very unique character of this
collection. Absolutely astonishing! “Destruction” can be seen as a
reflection of the past collection, it retreats from the chaos of the
labels’ dystopian influences, with the aim to push forward with an
undying fighting spirit. Completely compelling!
The colour palette is dominated by
monochrome hues, and therefore mainly black and white are used. The
labels’ curious textures are juxtaposed against this seasons’ chaotic
prints. It is interesting to observe the collections’ pieces, as it is
something we haven’t seen before in any other collection.
“Destruction” takes its inspiration from
science fiction filmography, of which the designer is heavily
influenced by. The silhouette is kept sculpted and tactile. The whole
collection can be seen as a manifestation of this metamorphosis. The
make- up of the models is focused on the eyes, with an eyeliner and
accented eyebrows. The hair is kept up and worn as a bun. Young,
creative, daring.
In addition to those edgy outfits, open sandals are worn.
