"Following the nature and body-inspired AW10 and SS11 collections, this season sees Shao Yen take on the theme of "goddess" and continue to marvel us with exaggerated, empowering silhouettes. br br Having recently participated in Selfridges' Bright Young Things project in February 2011, Central Saint Martins MA graduate Shao Yen Chen is presenting the second collection under his womenswear label Shao Yen at The BFC Exhibition at London Fashion Week AW11. With inspirations from the elegant, mysterious, and powerful goddesses from the East and West, Shao Yen replaces the soft lines of drapes and pleats that often associate with the classic image of goddess with the cording technique and transforms these soft lines into more graphic, relief-like contours. Carefully blended with Swarovski crystals and voluminous fur, Shao Yen's AW11 collection presents an eclectic lineup that sets him ready for a new departure. br br www.shao-yen.com br www.shao-yen.blogspot.com br Email:info@shao-yen.
