ALEX S. YU

ALEX S. YU creates collections of garments that explore the fine line ​ between reality and fantasy. His aesthetics rollick the happy emotions of ​ childhood, nostalgia and wanderlust; and ponder the very definition of ​ femininity in a modern, quirky way through garments. The ALEX S. YU girl ​ loves to have fun, and isn't afraid of trying new things. They love colour, ​ prints, quirky shapes, textures, and most importantly, values comfort. They ​ are eccentric, lively, nonchalant and views life through a pair of rose tinted ​ glasses. ALEX S. YU creates a line of contemporary womenswear with a twist ​ of avant garde experimental attitude. He plays with proportions, colour ​ blocking and unusual silhouettes while mixing and using different colours and ​ fabric weights in one garment. ​
