Central Saint Martins M.A./12: Ylfang Wan

Written by Guiliano Bolivar

Evoking monks embodied by women and yet keeping a very “out off the office, I’m gonna make a quick coffee run” look, Ylfang Wan must be the one M.A. fashion course graduate that struck me the most with nine looks composed out of a large fully woolen trenchcoats and long dresses repertoir. Probably based on and/or worn by a woman with a distorted perception of proportions; this woman loves walking around in Marmol-like body embracing belt pieces which not only embrace but as well deform the body in the most visually pleasant way. So is it splitted in half? Or just a fascinating mid-body piece that leaves a lot to the imagination? An idea so simple and yet makes you wonder and look forward to the twist made within every upcoming look.
