Academy of Art University 2016 Graduation Fashion Show | Wen Jiang

Wen Jiang, B.F.A. Fashion Design, was born and raised in Shen Yang.

Architecture was Jiang’s main source of inspiration.

While developing her concept, Jiang envisioned the linear and angular designs of some of the world’s most breathtaking structures.

This graphic approach prompted her to construct her collection entirely out of wool.

Perhaps one of the most striking elements in her garments are the color blocked, hand-pressed pleating that pays homage to Munich based photography Nick Frank’s vivid geometric images.
