The fantasy world that designer Robert Wun<\/a> has been able to cultivate since his 2014 beginnings has had models like Naomi Campbell<\/a>, Liu Wen<\/a>, and Edie Campbell<\/a> favorably touting his designs in editorials and on the streets. While others clamored about the future of the industry when the pandemic first started, Wun trudged on from his London base, recently releasing a personal F\/W 21 collection, as a cathartic ode to his late grandmother. Growing up in Hong Kong, Wun gathered creative inspiration from all his surroundings honing in on nature, specifically flowers or birds. These themes are now woven throughout his designs as he floats between harsh, folded lines and soft, flowing textiles. The delicate balance continues as pierced armored panels and precisely pleated skirts blossom then give way to Birds of Paradise-inspired technicolor hues. Whether he’s being inspired by Alexander McQueen, Beatrix Kiddo, or the strong women in his life, Wun’s work has embodied a spirit that has had empowered celebrities like Doja Cat, Lady Gaga, Lizzo, and Celine Dion tapping in. Now as the fashion circuit turns to London we spoke briefly to Wun about showing on his own time, an upcoming F\/W 22 theme that Hitchcock would love, and why staging a runway show isn’t a priority.<\/p>\n
