Cheney Chan: Feminine Elegance in 12 Virtues

 

Cheney Chan recently presented his new collection, “Dream in Bloom,” in Paris, highlighting feminine elegance inspired by numerous classic Chinese stories.

The designer focused on twelve essential characteristics: purity, courage, charm, resilience, endurance, passion, freedom, heroism, independence, clarity, responsibility, and authenticity.

 

 

The collection revolves around the idea of transformation, symbolized by the journey from cocoon to butterfly.

Cheney Chan utilizes beloved elements such as flowers and butterflies as mediums to create beautiful, dreamlike images that reflect the graceful allure of modern women.

Each silhouette in the collection is crafted to celebrate the unique beauty and diverse life attitudes of contemporary women.

 

 

The choice of the number 12 is significant. It not only represents the twelve months of the year and the twelve zodiac signs but also symbolizes the cycle of time and life.

In this collection, each piece embodies a different personality, illustrating how women flourish through the passage of time and the cycles of life, much like fluttering butterflies.

 

 

Each flower in the collection symbolizes the delicacy and vitality of women, while each butterfly represents their transformation and brilliance. This approach imbues the collection with a sense of rebirth, highlighting the natural beauty and strength of women.

For Cheney Chan, the number 12 also carries extraordinary significance, marking his personal growth and the development of his brand over the past twelve years.

 

 

Through this fashion show, he hopes to convey the emotion of a constantly evolving fashion landscape, embodying CHENEY CHAN’s transition into a new cycle and embarking on a new creative journey.

Cheney Chan’s “Dream in Bloom” collection is a celebration of feminine elegance, blending tradition and modernity while honoring the beauty and strength of women through powerful symbols and refined designs.

Where does your inspiration come from?

 

My inspiration came from the 12th anniversary of our brand. I read many traditional Chinese stories and selected 12 women from them, reimagining these figures in a contemporary context. Some of them are romantic, others are naive, and still others are courageous. You’ll notice many elements related to butterflies and flowers.

Indeed, in ancient China, flowers were often used to describe women. That’s why we’ve associated different female characteristics with different flowers to represent them. For example, the female figures appearing in the opening scene are generally more pure and romantic, as we’ve used swaying flower shapes, and lilies symbolize purity and holiness, implying multiple metaphors.

You may wonder why there are so many butterflies. It’s because we’ve borrowed the concept of the butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. All the garments represent women emerging from their cocoons and transforming into flowers, warriors, and free individuals.

Cheney Chan’s collection is appreciated by the journalists and professionals present. Julien Fournié , the famous designer, shared his opinion:

What’s interesting is that he manages to combine Western and Chinese elements in a unique way. The choice of materials is highly refined, and the volumes are fluid and light. The embroidery applications are designed to enhance the silhouette rather than conceal anything; it’s a true work of art. I also loved the color gradations.
