Xander Zhou Mixes Digital & Spiritual Motifs in His SS 2020 Capsule
References: xanderzhou & highsnobiety
Xander Zhou's Spring/Summer 2020 line is a great example of a future-oriented meditative fashion collection.
The silhouettes in the capsule feature a completely original and attention-captivating aesthetic. Vastly experimental, the ensembles seek to connect the spiritual with the digital. The leading motif of the presentation is "consciousness." The inspiration is building on Xander Zhou's previous work which spotlighted the "creation of life" and "human evolution." The Spring/Summer 2020 collection of meditative fashion is here to explore the afterlife. The designer believes that after death the "consciousness will be able to exist [...] in the form of AI, completely detached from any physical human body."
The presentation of the 2020 meditative fashion is also quite experimental as "real, physical and CGI models appeared alongside each other."
