Today, we would like to introduce the new arrivals from the 2026 Pre-Fall (26PF) collection by ZIGGY CHEN, available at FASCINATE_THE R (Shinsaibashi, Osaka).
Launched in Shanghai in 2012 under the designer's own name, ZIGGY CHEN presents collections that blend Western culture with ancient traditional Chinese design. Through a highly original interpretation layered with innovative sewing and construction techniques, the brand utilizes rustic fabrics in subdued earth tones, creating garments that exude an avant-garde atmosphere driven by ingenious pattern work.
This unmatched craftsmanship is entirely carried out in their own sewing atelier, bearing the mark "made in Ziggy Chen Atelier."
The 3 new models that have arrived are all 100% linen and completely black.
However, this is distinct from the thin linen of spring and summer; it is woven with substantial firmness and thickness intended for autumn and winter wear. The surface is given a deep texture reminiscent of antique garments that have been worn for a long time.
The more you wear them, the more the unique wrinkles of the linen emerge, deepening the drape and adapting to your body. The aging process itself is the defining characteristic of these 3 models.
The "Double-Breasted Shirt Jacket" is collarless, yet its greatest characteristic is the "fake lapel," designed to look as if it has a lapel.
By tailoring the front in a double-breasted style, it brings out the profoundness of a classic tailored jacket while leaving the neckline open and relaxed. It features only one buttoned pocket on the left chest. The length falls just over the hips, maintaining a structural form as outerwear despite the loose fit. It is a piece that blurs the boundary between a shirt and a jacket, reflecting an approach typical of ZIGGY CHEN.
The "Puppytooth Cocoon Shirt," as its name suggests, features a rounded, three-dimensional form like a cocoon.
It has an extremely minimalist construction with a moderately open spread collar and a single patch pocket on the left chest, bringing the brand's true essence—pattern making—to the forefront. It incorporates an inverted pleat on the back and deep slits on both sides of the hem. Despite its longer length that covers the hips, it never feels heavy, and the drape moves fluidly with every step. From a distance, the fabric appears to be solid black, but the depth of the weave reveals its expression depending on how the light hits it.
The "Wide-Leg Trousers" use linen specially woven for the Autumn/Winter collection. It has an antique-like texture, tightly woven with a moderate firmness.
Its greatest feature is the asymmetrical design of the front fly, a detail that stands out beautifully when tucked in. The trousers feature deep pleats at the front and a partial elastic waistband at the back. Offered in a full-length loose fit, the fabric's natural fall translates directly into a stunning drape.
The same black linen, expressed in 3 different patterns. Please take a closer look at the latest works from ZIGGY CHEN.
