This week in New York, predominately American menswear designers — many of them based in either Manhattan or Brooklyn — showed their spring/summer 2017 collections. But a few international designers, like Feng Chen Wang from China, participated in New York Fashion Week: Men’s.
At Wang’s presentation on Wednesday afternoon, which was an extension of her menswear show in London last month, the designer explained that the clothes were inspired by people. “This collection was really inspired by how people connect with each other nowadays,” she told Yahoo Style — and this was evident in the clothing, very literally.

On her clothes, Wang included small connectors via drawstrings that either accentuated or loosened the baggy jackets, shirts, and trousers. “See, if you loosen the drawstring, the clothes become like a big parachute,” she said.

Additionally, Wang made a point to cast an eclectic group of models because she considers her clothes to be unisex. “We really tried to mix different ethnicities and genders too,” she said.
Despite only having shown three seasons, Wang’s business is thriving. “We believe the future is bright,” she said reassuringly.
