Feng Chen Wang’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection created a dialogue between the past and the future as the brand celebrated their 10th anniversary. More than a retrospective, it marked the start of a new chapter grounded in emotion, craft, and a connection with nature. From botanical and hand-sprayed dyeing techniques to the debut of structured plaid, the garments balanced memory with innovation.

After the show, designer Feng Chen Wang caught up with us, to open up about the emotion behind this collection, and the brand’s evolving identity – accompanied by backstage moments captured by Leiya Wang.

Congratulations on 10 years. When you look back on your first collection, how do you feel this one is different?

I think in these 10 years, the looks don’t change, everything’s back to the same, everything’s really about craftsmanship. And also handmade, but handmade from craftsmanship, with natural dye, natural things. Silhouettes as well, with the cutting and color, so everything comes together.
I think that Feng Chen Wang means a lot of futuristics, but modernity as well, it’s emotional.

This new collection marks a decade of your brand. Which elements from this past decade and what new elements can we expect to see in this new era?

Ooh! Well, there’s a coat that I re-did from the first season I made, the coat comes from there. But that coat is one of our DNA pieces. So I bought it back, but slightly made some changes: material’s different, color’s different, which is amazing. And very, very new things, which are: new tailoring, new shoes for this season, the silhouettes, and the pleats, everything comes together. And also in the material, the deconstruction as well. The bamboo bag is also cool, it’s always in the Feng Chen Wang catwalks.

How did you pick out the materials and textures in the collection, and what were the inspirations behind them?

There are several looks where you can see that the patterns in them are plants, flowers, and all natural things. It’s real craftsmanship, hand-dyed from real plants. So it’s more like using all these different things, pressing into the fabric at a certain temperature to make the ink transfer into the material, so that’s a very unique process. It’s also quite from old times in history, this traditional technique, but the design comes out more modern, and it’s also one of my favorites.

There’s a strong connection to nature in the looks. What part of nature were you most inspired by for this collection?

There’s one pattern of a bamboo plant, quite nice, all the leaves come out of the bamboo. So the bamboo leaves –not many people have seen it– but I think it’s quite usual as well. When you put it on the material, it’s interesting that it’s a very artistic way, but also needs to work with a local artisan to get it done. So, yeah, and then bamboo is always a Feng Chen Wang material, right? So we got the bamboo bag, we got tie-dye techniques, and there’s another denim as well, and nylon. There are Feng Chen Wang key materials, but this season, I think it’s there’s a lot of new innovation into that material.

Finally, what does “Fucking Young!” mean to you?

Wow. Wow, my God. Ten years ago, when I was a student, I kind of really, really loved lots of things on “Fucking Young!”. So I think that “Fucking Young!” is really helping lots of young students growing up and, you know, here, after 10 years, “Fucking Young!” is here, thank you “Fucking Young!”, thank you, thank you!
