The Yvonne Kwok Graduation Collection is a socially-conscious fashion line that not only addresses the desire for experimental designs but also the industries' infliction on the individual. The Dutch designer comments profoundly, “My concept is about the battle with the mental disorder caused by the restrictions within the fashion system where pressure plays a major role. With reference to the marionette 'a person who is in the service of someone else,' I want to make a mockery of this subject.”
That aside, the Yvonne Kwok Graduation Collection is a stunning body of work, garnering her a finalist position in the Best International Collection category at the London Graduate Fashion Week. Full of bright colors, mixed fabrics and deconstructed silhouettes, the Yvonne Kwok Graduation Collection is a treat for the eyes.
