Shiatzy Chen's work has always been distinguished by its luxury craftsmanship and individualistic spirit since the brand first launched in 1978. Women who wear the Taiwan label's wares espouse elegance and finesse, yet are rebellious and sexy in their femininity. They're highly cultured while being simultaneously cool. They meld classical and modern into a sassy neo-Chinese chic.
Theater provided the starting point for design director Wang Chen Tsai-Hsia's glamorous, costume-esque, curvy and playful collection that embodies the brand's East-meets-West flair. The upper body speaks a variety of languages, with the regal baroque style coinciding with the cloud collar and elaborate headdress common to Beijing opera.
