Feng Chen Wang Creates Torchbearers' Fits for Beijing Olympics 2022
Feng Chen Wang is a Chinese-born, London-based designer at the forefront of a new generation of fashion talent emerging from China. Describing her aesthetic as “future-modern, authentic and multidimensional”, Feng focuses on technical deconstruction, creating unisex clothing that is functional but at the same time conceptual and personal, drawing on her life experiences and Chinese heritage. We've been treated to Feng Chen Wang's work before through her collaborations with Converse, and now we get to see her amazing work on the world's stage with the Beijing Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony for 2022.
The focal point of Feng Chen Wang’s designs is a blue and white down puffer jacket, complete with imagery celebrating the games and a Beijing 2022 Olympic logo. The jacket’s imagery mixes a pattern of snow covered mountains with white line drawings of major Chinese landmarks in Beijing and beyond. The eye-catching jackets were then partnered with all-white looks, including a shirt, trousers and boots, all of which were inspired by traditional Chinese suiting.
Speaking to WWD about the project, Feng Chen Wang said, “As an independent designer, it’s truly an honor to work with these athletes during the opening ceremony. The Olympics has a very powerful message of inclusivity and diversity that brings hope, and I’m proud to be part of this global celebration.”
