Huishan Zhang Pre-Fall 2023

Huishan Zhang often dedicates his collections to the cinematic muses that inspire him. Pre-fall was an homage to the character Judy Barton, from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 psychological masterpiece , played by Kim Novak. “There are dualities to her personality, which I’m fascinated by—she’s elegant yet unravelling, dangerous yet vulnerable,” the designer said over Zoom from Qingdao. “I was struck by her complexities, and I wanted to create a wardrobe that represented her in our own way, without it being obvious.”
