LORING NEW YORK SPRING/SUMMER 2023
LORING NEW YORK SPRING SUMMER 2023
Inspired by artist Imi Knoebel’s approach to color, geometric vocabulary of forms and simplicity of materials, Long Xu, designer for LORING New York, focused on Color, Shapes and Texture for his Spring ’23 collection.
Xu identified with the ever-changing visual perception of a garment by transforming two- dimensional shapes into three-dimensional designs through this exploration of the potentiality of construction and the unexpected silhouettes that this process would lead. Akin to creating sculptures, Xu began by placing geometric color blocks and shapes on the form, and applied his signature upcycled patchwork technique and hand-crochet detail.
The color palette centers around bold primary colors of Red, Bright Blue, Black and White. While Xu identifies these colors to his Spring 21 collection, which was created during the Covid-19 lockdown, he wanted to rephrase these colors in this current collection to exemplify his change and evolution.
Xu favors mixing smoothness and roughness. Some of the key fabrics are Silk Charmeuse, Silk Wool Suiting which are combined with upcycled denim and washed denim jersey. Texture is further enhanced though the application of handcraft details such as patchwork and crotchet.
As Imi Knoebel said, “if you want to stay alive, you have to do something radical.”.
