As the curtain lifts on PH5’s highly anticipated Pre-Fall 2023 Collection, we are invited on a sartorial journey into the future of sustainable luxury. Pioneering, innovative, and recognisably unconventional, this latest collection from designers Wei Lin and Zoe Champion is a testament to the brand’s commitment to redefining luxury fashion through a lens of sustainability and high-tech design.
At the forefront is PH5’s signature halo gradient design, meticulously coded dot by dot by the brand’s innovative designers. The expertly constructed lines create a slimming optical illusion, and the gradient design is brought to life with hand-embroidered recycled plastic sequins at the hem, reinforcing PH5’s dedication to sustainability.
But there’s even more about the collection’s distinctive gradient print: Because each dot of the print is digitally encoded, the effect results in a softer gradient that imparts a three-dimensional feel to the clothing. Graphic lines complement the print, flattering and slenderising the figure.
High on comfort and style is the travelling rib knit in a breathable silk-cotton mix, flattering all body shapes. A standout piece is the Jodie dress, which takes 12 hours to knit to perfection. The dress features intarsia slits, allowing for a unique belt weave through, adding a twist to the classic silhouette. The collection also presents pieces in a lightweight, organza-like fabric. Crafted with horizontal knitting, layering two yarns, these pieces offer light-as-air elegance, perfect for high summer dressing.
While PH5 is best known for its wavy-hem dresses, PH5’s Pre-Fall 2023 Collection isn’t just about fashion; it’s about a lifestyle choice. It’s about embracing a future where luxury doesn’t cost the earth. Each garment carries an essential message of responsibility and respect for our planet, elegantly encapsulated in PH5’s visionary designs. Throughout their Pre-Fall 2023 Collection, there’s a true sense of responsibility and care under their zany colourful dresses, reminding us all that they are an eclectic ready-to-wear brand, but more importantly, they’re one that cares.
