Emerging Chinese Label DIDU Explores Futurism in FW22 Collection
Shown simultaneously at Paris and Shanghai Fashion Week.
DIDU, an emerging Chinese label helmed by Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp alum Di Du, has showcased its Fall/Winter 2022 collection in both Paris and Shanghai.
Titled “Lost in Transition,” the presentation featured a live catwalk as well as a campaign film. The collection takes inspiration from the designer’s internal conversations on a personal journey that eventually leads us to self-acceptance. Through FW22, the creative aimed to express a DIDU woman that isn’t confined to just one style, but rather open to multiple personas, personalities and egos.
The lineup is highlighted with a dramatic, contrasting color palette with diverse textures and textiles. A long-sleeved cut-out dress is splashed in a vibrant pink hue, while furry fringes take over skirts and tops. Elsewhere, an evening gown is covered entirely in fuzzy material, contrasting other looks featuring leather skirts with lace-up details, denim sets and more. The collection is complete with corset tops with curved hems, paired with micro-mini skirts.
