In a modern homage to the romantic spirit of this vanished era, Shiatzy Chen mixes eastern and western elements and reinterprets them to bring out the essence of their artistry through the classic lines of 50s style in a series of exciting new looks that timeless and avant-garde.

Use by exquisite wools mixed with metallics and rubber latex that add a futuristic, avant-garde touch and embellished with retro, colorful socks.
