SUNRISE, SUNSET
Jen Kao Spring 2012
At Jen Kao’s Spring 2012 show, she started by teasing guests with a prolonged moment of darkness until a spotlight soon emerged on the first model, bathing her in glowing red. When the catwalker finally began making her way down the runway, an impressive headpiece, a collaboration with Paper-Cut-Project, was revealed—the perfect complement to Kao’s newest collection. Kimono-like trenches, colourful separates and checkerboard patterned dresses dominated the runway in a colour palette appropriate for the show’s theme, proving that Kao’s evolution as a must-watch designer is still moving in the right direction.
