The Bite Magazine Issue 17

dimensional exclamation point to an oth- erwise timeless piece. The hues, as with the play on dimensions, are kept bold. Drawing on colour palettes from the film and art that inspired him, there are fiery shades of red and brick, bright and vibrant cerulean and darker shades of inky black and slate grey. A palette born for the storms of winter, the pieces will certainly add a statement to this season’s sombre weather. Leaving no outfit incomplete, the col- lection is peppered with accessories, including a cosy oversized hand woven scarf and Swarovski embellished belts, neck collars and wrist cuffs. Hung was previously featured in the Lane Crawford x Swarovski “Vision from a New Gener- ation” exhibition, forging a relationship that continues to influence his pieces and his use of Swarovski crystals in his mens- wear is especially distinctive. Whilst the designs are eclectic, Hung’s use of luxurious fabrics such as Italian wool, cashmere, mohair and the purest cotton jersey keep his pieces both com- fortable wearable and desirable. The element of luxury is never lost and it’s in the details where Hung truly stands out, updating classic silhouettes with a contrasting insert here, an altered seam there and eye-catching textural detail- ing on everything from hems and cuffs to pockets, ensuring no one part of a garment is left untouched. Having showcased his collections here in London since 2015, Hung has been scouted by Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana and Sara Maino from Vogue Talents to show in Milan and Paris; this star is definitely rising.Talent such as this makes clear just how far the menswear market has come – borrowing from your boyfriend’s wardrobe has never been more appealing! www.wanhung.com
