SUSAN FANG AW26 invitation

SUSAN FANG AW26 invitation 

The concept draws inspiration from the natural growth patterns of flowers, guided by phyllotaxis and its underlying mathematical structures. Designed with both aesthetic and functional intent, the piece serves as a show invitation while also being adaptable for everyday use as a coaster.

SUSAN FANG presents its Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, Air-Infinity, at Shanghai Fashion Week. This is a meditation on endless lightness. Delicate bows float in eternal suspension, each knot a frozen instant between dream and reality. Ribbons drift through ethereal dimensions, their loops weaving infinite connections between time and space.

Following SS26’s Air-Evolution, which imagined a future of nature-technology symbiosis, Air-Infinity turns the lens back to the present. Bows serve as symbols of sweetness and sentiment; mummy motifs as metaphors for preservation and the desire to hold on to what we love; 1950s and 60s silhouettes collaged with vintage ski jackets allow different eras to collide within an infinite loop.

The collection is rich with wrapping and bow details, while liberating the play of light through transparency, floral geometry, and colour to create a glowing illusion of luminescence within the clothing. The wrapping, bows, and flowing ribbon straps build a deliberate contradiction: restraint and release coexist, softness and rebellion live side by side. The styling carries a warrior’s strength and rebellious spirit: conquer your own soul, and flowers will bloom again in infinity.

Key pieces push ribbon to its most elemental extreme: gowns constructed entirely from cascading ribbon, where fabric itself dissolves into pure flow; 1950s-inspired ribbon jackets and full skirts that nip, flutter, and bloom with mid-century sweetness; puffer jackets wrapped and bound in ribbon, their volume tamed and teased into soft surrender; and quilted puffers mapped in bow patterns, each stitch a tiny declaration of tenderness.
