Wenhan Xu's final major project was a captivating exploration of human existence in the context of nature, drawing inspiration from the thought-provoking work of Takashi Kuribuyashi. Kuribuyashi's "Tree" 2015 installation, in particular, resonated with Xu, as it posed questions about the future of life on Earth and the delicate interplay between humans and the natural world.
Under the guidance of Philip and Saskia, Xu's design concepts underwent a rigorous process of questioning and refinement. Philip's expertise in garment construction, detailing, and finishing ensured that the collection met the highest professional standards. This collaborative approach helped Xu to develop a cohesive and impactful collection.
Wenhan Xu's six-look collection was a testament to his talent and dedication. The collection's successful inclusion in the Kingston School of Art Press Show 2023 showcased his ability to translate a profound concept into a visually stunning and thought-provoking body of work.
