Angus Chiang Adds Whimsy to Paris Fashion Week-Rebel Artist Ep. 2
Angus Chiang is a fashion designer reconfiguring the boundaries between fashion and everyday life. His Taiwanese street style gently rebels against the established power structures in aesthetic hierarchies by celebrating local Taiwanese flair to add a touch of whimsy to high fashion houses. These campy outfits elevate Taiwan's grassroots visuals: boisterous banquet tables, vibrant wet markets, and garish neon hues into a first-rate international collection. His journey into fashion design began in college, when he garnered numerous accolades in Taiwan, and caught the attention of European fashion weeks, exhibiting in Paris before being selected as an emerging designer by LVMH. He’s now based in different cities, but Taiwan’s traditional markets remain his main source of inspiration. Category is Bihua Cloth Street carnival of color!
