Kerhao Yin fashions and illustrations
Kerhao Yin is a recently MA graduate at Central Saint Martins who, after training at Vanessa Bruno and Chloé, decided to start a namesake label. If this doesn’t sound enough for you, Kerhao is also a skillful fashion illustrator, who published on Elle, Harper Bazaar and the Danish Tea Paper, to name a few.
His playful, bold and colorful looks reflect his illustration style: a clean yet strong aesthetic, that for this first collection (AW12) is inspired by re-inventing a sportswear style by using different materials and playing with shapes and volumes. “I started looking for old sportswear jackets, windbreakers and ski suits to play with. The vintage Adidas stripes and colour-block elements in the collection are the results of playing around and research. Then I tried to break these industrial sportswear elements up with couture fabrics like Boucle and Duchess Satin.”
The result is a hyper contemporary classic collection, chic but easy to wear: one of those collection you’ll look at in 20 years, and still find it beautiful.
