MCFW: BANXIAOXUE FALL/WINTER 2014
Designer Ben told us ‘To Follow the Nature with Heart‘ as written on the show invitation, which meanwhile served as the theme of his Fall/Winter 2014 collection. And what caught my eyes at first sight when I entered the tent, was surreptitiously exuding a hint of what was in conjunction with those few words. With lines of soil cover with moss paving through the runway, the interior was dominated by a touch of rough nature.
The embroidered organza dress and matching hippie floppy hatgears (which slightly reminded me of the Buffalo hat by Vivienne Westwood) that started the show were so effortless and unintentional, followed by a pyramid of monochrome ensembles that highlighted natural draping and cut-out details. More sophistication was added with the appearance of fringes. They were put together with asymmetric midi skirts, sandwiched between dresses and underneath skirts as a layer, and even hemmed on a trans-coded waistcoat to give out a modernized reinterpretation of the nature. Silk, according to designer Ben, was the dominant fabric of the collection. Rather than maintain the smoothness or sheerness of silk, however, more experimental approaches were given to fabric innovation, such as the silk cut-out swing coat compounded with wisps of wool textiles, and a silk maxi dress patched with three dimensional origami panels made of wool fabric. There was a moment that impressed me most, when a model was sporting a red chunky knit dress mingling in a black flowing organza cloak that bombarded the audience with ever elegant fluidity of movement.
