The two brothers and designers, Eric and Phillip Chu, showcased their eye-cathing new Ground Zero collection on Sunday, September 13 this past NYFW at The Space. Founded in 2008, this year’s theme of, “As You Like It” to forget a harmonious meeting of their rebellious spirit and the new generations mercurial humor.
“The collection is an homage to 90’s gang culture juxtaposed with Asian tradition. Intricate embroideries of dragons and flowers serve as visual elements to the designers’ roots, while the oversized cuts, and distressed denim provide a modern approach. The femininity of a butterfly breaks the masculinity of a silk bomber jacket, along with other street-ready pieces. Each garment is finely detailed and produces a look that’s quirky, yet dark and sophisticated.”
