| Yang Du Spring Summer 2011 NEWGEN at London Fashion Week Image by Re-Design for Life |
Yang Du's spring summer 2011 collection - He is superman - is inspired by the toys and games of her childhood. The expressive emotions of Superman, Batman and Astroboy play leading roles in the stories Du creates through each design within the collection. Inspiration is also drawn from the Korean Toy Museum and it's collection of retro and stuck-together 'mutant' toys.
The collection is a riot of bold colour, surreal images and over-sized shapes constructed in panelled jersey, patchwork and digital prints. All is brought together to create humorous yet sexy designs. It's no wonder fans of her designs include Marina (and the Diamonds), Paloma Faith and Daisy Lowe.
There is a real sense of fun about Yang's work that I love. I was also bowled over by her creative exuberance and serious professionalism. A real inspiration. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of Yang Du and her surreal take on fashion.
