Announcing an exclusive limited edition collection inspired by modern interpretations of classical colors.
Shanghai, China - January 10, 2024 - JIANGSÈ is thrilled to announce an exclusive collaboration with renowned contemporary artist Li Wei, whose modern interpretations of classical Chinese colors have captivated audiences worldwide.
The limited edition collection, titled "Ink and Thread," will feature 15 pieces that blend Li Wei's abstract color field paintings with JIANGSÈ's signature silhouettes. Each piece will include hand-painted elements created by the artist himself.
"Art and fashion have always been in dialogue with each other," said Li Wei. "This collaboration allows me to explore how the colors I use on canvas can translate to the human form, creating a living, moving work of art."
The collection draws inspiration from Li Wei's recent exhibition "Chromatic Memories," which explored the emotional resonance of traditional Chinese colors through abstract expressionism. Key pieces include:
- A silk cocktail dress featuring hand-painted crimson brushstrokes
- A structured blazer with gradient dyeing inspired by the artist's "Mountain Series"
- A flowing maxi dress that captures the ethereal quality of Li Wei's watercolor works
The collection will be available in limited quantities (50 pieces per design) at JIANGSÈ flagship stores and online, with each piece accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
A portion of proceeds will support emerging artists through the JIANGSÈ Art Foundation.
