Shanghai-based designer Ziggy Chen’s complex cuts and silhouettes represent a new generation of minimal Chinese fashion design that has been making waves across the industry.

In his latest worldwide exclusive collaboration with Lane Crawford, Chen was inspired to create a timeless summer wardrobe for urban men that, despite being all-black (his signature colour), is versatile enough to work for different occasions and moods.

“Reversible elements and detachable details are key in this collection,” says the textile-obsessed designer, “as they allow the wearer to make adjustments based on where he goes and what he does. I’ve also used crispy high-dense cotton and soft cotton and linen fabric to create a subtle contrast that gives depth and richness to the collection.”
