When Shanghai based designer Ziggy Chen launched his eponymous menswear label in 2012, he'd been an unexpected veteran in an adjacent part of the industry. With years of experience as professor for textile and a product corporate management, the launch of his first collection kickstarted his journey into embracing a full-fledged fashion career. Finding inspiration in Chinese dynasties and the environment he'd lived in, Ziggy Chen crafts are a rare mix of Eastern beauty with Western cues, creating garments that exhibit a sophisticated kind of modernity without sacrificing wearability.
