Shangguan Zhe – SANKUANZ AW20 PFW SHOW

Fashion designer Shangguan Zhe, who graduated from Xiamen University back in 2007, is head of the latest emerging Chinese streetwear brand. The AW20 show was presented in the heart of the Marais in Paris. It took place in a trendy spacious salon lit in Ultra Violet lights. These lights reflected the iconic neon green of the brand.

Talented Zhe was inspired by the poem called Century, a poem by the Russian and Soviet essayist and poet Osip Mandelstam. This poem hints at the introduction of the theme of defense. Shangguan Zhe focused on military combat attire, offering a refined blend of military styles. Additionally, iconic pop culture ranged from sharp uniforms to streetwear looks.

The monochromatic jet black collection had pops of color in the brand’s brilliant neon green color. The collection also offered SANKUANZ best selling « cube » sneakers. These were available in plain white or black strappy styles. There was a sense of harmony and conflict between the notions of ideology and culture. These elements are well understood by Shangguan Zhe.

Stunning stiletto boots with neon green bottoms highlighted skeleton printed on tops. Additionally, oversized black blazers were paired with roomy straight-cut pants. In addition to this, there was an interesting new turn on earphone accessories. Never-before-seen attachable earrings for the bottom of earphones topped off a fearless look crafted by Shangguan Zhe.

There were studs and edgy details on shoulder straps. Oversized jackets and pants came in tones of dark green, black, silver, and impressive neons everywhere. Moreover, designer Shangguan Zhe hinted at the trendy new collaboration with Adidas Originals. This collaboration is planned to be released this upcoming Spring.
