Saving Fish From Drowning

Advising

A spring/summer womenswear collection, Saving Fish from Drowning takes its inspiration from Chen Wu’s travels around the world. The final collection blends details observed in New York, such as the fluidity of robes sported by Buddhist monks, with fashion and textile trends in China, such as the juxtaposition of different fabrics on the clotheslines of Wenzhou and the Western menswear and shirting influences popular in Shanghai.
