Chen Anqi, the designer of the Les Noces wedding ceremony in central London, made a blockbuster debut in the British VOGUE magazine, the British evening news and the British times, and was named i-D's graduation series of TOP 5 by i-D.

He worked in Vera Wang, Marchesa, Alexander Wang in New York, and created personal Angel Chen in Shanghai in 2014, 7 months.

In October of the same year, under the auspices of SONY, the 15 year spring and summer series extended the graduation series with the theme of "the sacrifice of spring", and won praise for exaggerated and unscrupulous graffiti.

In February 2015, Angel Chen 15 autumn winter series - "Bunny with Short Legs" won the British Fashion Scout Ones to Watch award and was invited to be released during the London Fashion week.

5 month old designer Angel Chen creates a special series of "Youthquake" H.Lorenzo exhibition at the Losangeles buyer's shop.

1.2016 in the spring and summer series, the theme is called

What made you decide to use this as a theme?

Youthquake is a time when artists gathered and influenced each other in New York, 6 and 70s, and constantly inspired new concepts and works.

The theme of Youthquake is that China's creative industries are growing rapidly, and many interesting concepts have sprouted, just like those of New York.

2. what are the first considerations before designing a new series?

The first thing to consider is of course the season's cold and warm, and the theme of the series is that some people or things that affect me at that time, more of what I saw and heard and cultural background during the journey.

Finally, it will consider mixing other elements to enrich the whole series of texture. These elements are not necessarily related to the theme, but they can be interwoven in harmony to create a novel.

。

3. you like to add some artistic or conceptualized things to your clothes. Why do you have such an idea?

What I want to express in fashion design is the concept behind it. The concept is first born in my mind, and then the clothes act as a medium that allows me to express the concept with artistic elements, not what I conceptualize and add to clothes.

And when certain themes are derived from specific cultural groups,

It's more like designing for them, presenting their characteristics in front of the audience with my colors and techniques.

4. what is the most difficult part in your design process?

I enjoyed every design process, from inspiration, fabric, painting, to plate making.

After all, the ideas in my head are often full of leakage. The design allows me to release them. I think the difficulty is the production process.

5. which artist do you admire, will his works affect your design?

Jean Michel Basquait, his paintings are often a bunch of bright and elusive symbols, masks and skeletons, and a large number of ordered graffiti. It looks like a child's scribbling.

He draws and thinks about life in an abstract way, which is a contrasting theme like poverty and affluence, apartheid or integration.

I think he influenced me to ponder over the social problems that involve a series of themes in design. For example, the wedding of two girls in the graduation series has made me concerned about the injustice of Uganda and the suppression of homosexuals by law and force.
