Sean Suen AW16 menswear collection presented by GQ China



Drawing inspiration on Chinese chess, Sean Suen shows the connection between himself and his other self in the parallel world.


Garments are intricately layered with mixed fabrics and contrasting cuts, focusing on stylish and functional silhouettes.

Video of the show's finale:

The collection plays with the opposites such as the chessboard where it's not only about two sides against each other but also about the communication between you and your opponent; history and reality; cultures of east and west.


The criss cross garments follow the pattern of the chessboard and shows a collision between insistence and compromise.


Round metal pieces studding on the apparels symbolise the antique idea that the earth was square and heaven round.

Other pieces take the appearance of Chinese chess pieces which should move according to different rules with imagination and creation which indicates the various paths in life.

Sean Suen SS16 Menswear at London Collections: Men


Presented by GQ China, this was Sean Suen's first show on the international stage.


For his SS16 collection, he drew his inspiration from his own journey to the West.





The collection is a myriad of cultures and exotic locations experienced through his travels. It serves as an assortment of defining moments in which Sean's Chinese heritage and identity meets the new alien experiences of the West.



The masculinity and structure of the European suit is paired with the elegance of the Chinese robe.

The structure of the suit is loosened by the fluidity of fine Chinese silks.

The collection uses the form and structure of the West to contain the movement and rhythm of the East.
