Yii Spring/Summer 2016 Lookbook

Yii‘s Spring/Summer 2016 menswear collection revolves around the defiance of humanity we were living in despite all misfortunes of sorts. Inspired by the first child abuse case that was shone upon, the history of Mary Ellen Wilson had been sick and tormenting, yet easily relatable. The collection speaks of a story of every victim would, exploring from the child’s perspectives and the voice of the abuser to the sensible ones around. Playing with manipulative metaphors, it interpretatively shows various method of tortures used on the young souls. Ironically creating a somewhat vivid and surreal ludicrous silhouettes out of the customaries, and shaping haunting catchphrases reflects on the abuser himself, of his disturbed thoughts and mind. In contrary, the collection also speaks of what a sensible man would do to the victims; to heal. By each and every piece represents simple methods such as basic communication, care, comfort and most importantly, love.   Photography: ZhongLin Photography Assistant: Andrea Loo Art Direction: Yii & ZhongLin Assistants: Riri Tan & Kirane Anne Madius Hair: Juno Ko Make-up: Alicia Tan Model: Francesco Pellegrino
