Fashion prodigy Chet Lo has presented his second collection after graduating from Fashion East. The young designer has impressed me once again with his unique vision, this time exploring the world of textures and materials to create a collection that is raw and seductive.
This collection has a significant difference from his previous work as it relies heavily on textures and materials rather than bright colours. Chet Lo played with denim and leather, venturing away from the spiky knits he is known for, showcasing his versatility.
What caught my attention was the lack of colour in the collection, which is a significant departure from his previous work. The colour palette was inspired by Chet Lo's recent depression diagnosis. The designer himself has stated that the collection is a personal exploration of his emotions, and the lack of colour in his work reflects this.
The collection is a journey of exploration, which highlights the designer's growth and transformation. It shows that even in the darkest moments of one's life, one can find inspiration and creativity, especially in nature. The collection's pieces are thought-provoking and show a sense of maturity in the designer's work.
As a fan of Chet Lo, it was hard not to have favourites, and mine were looks 6, and 10:
Chet Lo's FW2023 collection is a unique and captivating journey through depression. The lack of colour and the use of textures show the designer's growth and transformation, making it a collection that is both personal and thought-provoking. Chet Lo has a talent for making menswear that is almost seductive and shows skin without taking away from the subject's masculinity, similar to Kiko Kostadinov in a way. I am certainly excited to see where his journey takes him next.
