Designer Profile

JAREL ZHANG is a Chinese designer whose colorful approach to fashion, coupled with the brand’s core-concept of fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics, has made him one of the country’s brightest young talents. Describing his aesthetic as “futuristic, philosophical and structured”, he focuses on technical outerwear, creating unisex clothing for both men and women, which is functional but at the same time conceptual and personal, drawing on his life experiences.

In the last F/W 19 collections, he delved into the signification behind the origin and the evolution of life through the exploration of the “Born to Be” theme. His S/S 19 collection, “In Your Eyes”, pondered over the diversity characterizing the human memorizing cognitive world. The F/W 19 Jarel Zhang collection encouraged people to keep an exploration spirit about them, wherever they are. Moreover, in his work, Jarel Zhang insists on analyzing all the discoveries and challenges human beings can be confronted with through a philosophical viewpoint, using thus the fashion media to give body to our inner life philosophy.
