Sky

Sky Chen is a Chinese fashion designer whose work emerges from a deep desire to explore, to push boundaries, and to transform the intangible into form. Drawn to grand ideas and apocalyptic beauty, she translates sweeping concepts into richly textured garments that invite both wonder and confrontation. Her work challenges the boundaries of wearability, favoring bold silhouettes and theatrical presence. In her thesis collection, Party at the End of the World, she celebrates recklessness and decadence in the face of collapse, urging fashion to be fearless, joyful, and spontaneous. Each piece weaves together unlikely materials, from velvet to steel, from softness to armor. The chainmail that anchors the collection was meticulously handwoven by Sky, linking centuries-old technique with urgent, modern expression. Her designs revel in contradiction: heavy yet delicate, structured yet fluid—and ask the wearer to step boldly into transformation. For her, fashion is a living language of emotion, risk, and radical play. Every garment becomes a story, stitched in unrelenting defiance and drenched in celebration.
