The Long Tran Spring/Summer 2014 collection shines a light on sculptural silhouettes that push gender boundaries. The designer creates a line of both men's and women's garments that defy tradition with their textural and avant-garde quality.
The London-based designer and photographer captures his latest lookbook that puts his unconventional and gender-bending garments on display. While his white-hued menswear is lensed against a bold pink backdrop, his womens' garments, all displayed in varying pink shades, are captured against a pale wall surface.
Modelled by fresh faces Nicole and John, the Long Tran Spring/Summer 2014 collection blurs the lines between the process of sculpture and clothing design. Creating wearable art pieces, the visionary designer presents yet another translation of his unique point of view.
