Siqi Fang

Siqi Fang is a menswear designer based in London. She mainly focuses on continually pushing the boundary of fashion thinking and system thinking. Her design approach is often unconventional and innovative. Siqi proposes a new attitude to the physical body through a fashion lens.

Her practice explores innovation through garments, pattern making and the human body. The work aims to challenge the traditional vision of garments by rethinking and recreating.

‘Modern Hermits’ grew out of questioning the social perception of uniformity.

People’s excessive pursuit of social normality leads to a lack of self-expression, as well as their actual hobbies, desires, or habitual ways of dressing.

By blurring the boundary between home and work, wearers are encouraged to resist the pressure for uniformization, pursuing a comfortable and intimate dressing experience.

The purpose of this project is to design a new way of living that could fit into the post-pandemic ‘new world order’. The idea of ‘new suit’ subverts the traditional tailoring and redefines the office dress code.

A body of work was created as an artistic response to the pandemic. This collection is a sign of this time while trying to build the new category is born from now.
