[ YDC2023 ] Defend | Wong Ho Yu, Mason

Appropriate tailoring, colours and fabrics become a form of confidence, and that is Defend.’ Men's attire in the Middle Ages shared common features. Even though the clothing tended to be loose and wide-sleeved, it faintly displayed a sense of femininity while retaining the masculine facial features, showcasing a powerful and muscular strength. This fusion of yin and yang, balance and the amalgamation of masculine appearance and style align with the designer's vision and definition of modern menswear. With several years’ experience working at a uniform company and interning at the local designer brand Karmuel Young, Mason Wong is well-versed in tailoring and fabric processing. Through this collection, he aims to convey his feelings about dressing and encourage people to break free from the trend of gender ambiguity by finding outfits that truly suit them. The designer deliberately combines altered and adjoined materials, delicate tailoring and references from armour to interpret his perception of the grandeur, confidence and harmonious balance of strength and softness in male aesthetics.

「合適的剪裁、顏色和布料會成為一種自信，這就是Defend。」 中世紀男性衣着擁有些共通點，即使服飾偏向闊袍大袖，隱約呈現出陰柔感，卻保留男性原本的五官特質，強悍和具有力量的肌肉感。這種男性外貌和打扮所具備的陰陽交結、平衡的糅合符合了設計師對現代化男裝的想法和定義。 於制服公司工作數年、曾到本地設計品牌Karmuel Young實習，Mason 對於剪裁和布料處理非常熟悉。他希望透過這個創作系列呈現自身對穿搭的感受，鼓勵大眾拋開性別模糊化的潮流，真正嘗試和尋找合適自己的衣着配搭。設計師刻意利用物料上的改變和加建、細膩的剪裁、參考盔甲上的細節轉化，演繹他對男性個人審美上的氣勢、自信、剛柔並重之感。
