SEMI-FINALIST OF THE 2015 LVMH PRIZE

SANKUANZby Zhe Shangguan

Sankuanz boasts a distinctive and playful approach to fashion that has gained a cult-like following in China and abroad. The brain behind the brand is the fashion designer Shangguan Zhe, who graduated from Xiamen University in 2007—majoring in Visual Communication and Advertising. Zhe—unlike his job-hunting peers—immediately set up his own menswear label and let his brand evolve.
Sankuanz designs reflect the expression of different cultures. Classical references are mixed with pop elements through the combination of razor sharp tailoring, graphic playful prints, deconstruction and androgynous sporty silhouettes. The final result is are well-balanced collections in their eccentricity.
