Ziggy Chen’s SS25 collection, Gnartricate, unveiled at Paris Fashion Week, merges tradition with contemporary fashion. Inspired by a Chinese idiom about intertwined roots, the collection explores nature’s unseen beauty through a mix of elegance and decay. The term Gnartricate combines "gnarled branches" and "intricate," symbolising the balance between chaos and order. With a color palette of purples, greens, and greys, Ziggy Chen’s designs evoke the textures of aged architecture and the natural world. The garments feel as natural as they look, combining softness with structure. Seamlessly blending Eastern and Western influences, Gnartricate captures the essence of timeless beauty, from fluid silhouettes to intricate patterns. Ziggy Chen continues to redefine the intersection of tradition and modernity in fashion as seen with the Collaged Workers Jacket. Ziggy Chen Collaged Workers Jacket. Button closure at front.
