Ziggy Chen AW26 Dissparation

DISSPARATION moves at the edges of perception. It is not defined by what is immediately visible, but by what shifts, separates, and recomposes over time. Dislocation becomes a condition—silent and persistent—capable of shaping both form and meaning.

Fragments of the past emerge without nostalgia. They are observed, displaced, and reassembled through a contemporary sensibility that favours balance over statement, function over excess. Nothing is ever fully resolved; everything remains in tension.

Patterns originate from hand-drawn marks and fragments of memory: stone, architecture, and historical imagery. Abstract yet grounded, they exist between different eras. Construction is revealed rather than concealed: linings surface, interiors move outward, allowing the garment to speak through its own making.

Colour appears in restrained tones: warm browns, softened greys, deep grey-blues, black, and muted grey-yellow hues. Layers accumulate with discretion, creating depth without weight. Natural fibres—wool, cashmere, hemp, linen, silk—anchor the collection in an honest materiality. Irregular yarns and bouclé preserve traces of process, where imperfection is neither hidden nor corrected.

Accessories follow the same logic. Layered footwear, braided leather, metal elements, and cashmere scarves support function, avoiding ornament for its own sake.

DISSPARATION brings craftsmanship and wearability into alignment. Every element is intentional, every detail measured. The result is a collection that does not impose meaning, but suggests it—quietly, through matter, construction, and time.
