Jacques Wei Shanghai Spring 2024 collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
Designer Donghui Wei is an art collector. He has a preference for modern and contemporary art, and is currently fascinated by Chinese painters, which explains why some of the loosely draped silk sheaths in his spring 2024 collection feature printed abstractions of the artist Jian Cheng’s emotional portraiture.
Wei launched his label Jacques Wei in 2021 with the support of the Chinese emerging designer incubator Labelhood after studying and working in Paris for a few years. His first collection was bought by the luxury retailer Lane Crawford, which subsequently awarded him a grant through its Global Creative Call Out competition program. Wei’s runway shows are not unlike a visit to a contemporary art gallery. There’s always an amalgamation of patterns, textures, colors, and materials.
“I wanted to create something like a Chinese garden,” he said of a lineup that he presented at night under warm red lights inside a Chinese garden house.
Double shirts, double dresses, double tanks, and double skirts assembled a paradoxically light lineup. With styles like a top put together with bias-cut panels or a red dress worn under a silky tank, Wei harnessed his own heritage in a way that felt both distinct and contemporary. He can drape a flattering silky separate, but most impactful were the pieces where he focused on novelty rather than commercial appeal.
Equal parts bold and sexy, these are clothes you’ll want clinging to your skin in the heat before they’re peeled away—either by a warm summer breeze or a pair of helping hands.
