Yuhan Wang's spring 2022 ready-to-wear collection is here. View all the looks:
Yuhan Wang, like so many women in the U.K., felt “sad and angry” when she heard the Labour MP Jess Phillips read out the names of women who had been killed by a man in the past year in the House of Commons on March 21. “It was a complicated time for me to think how common it is,” said Wang. The femicide list included Sarah Everard, who was abducted, raped, and murdered by a policeman who had just finished a shift guarding the American embassy.
“It kept reminding me of the fear women feel. It’s the 21st century—women shouldn’t feel vulnerable or live with fear,” said Wang, who’s Chinese. “I feel like it’s even worse in Asia. In China, the media is controlled. Definitely there’s something happening [there] to women, but probably we won’t be able to know about it.”
Wang’s spring collection was—in a way—her part of the protest that erupted after Sarah Everard’s murder. “What I’ve been showing is this poetic, romantic softness, but I feel that is strength,” said Wang. This time, inspired by researching Victorian-era photographs of North American frontierswomen and ranchers, she symbolically armed her women. Hiding in plain sight on her first look, a green flower-printed trouser suit, was a green flower-printed pistol holster.
The vaguely Western strand of her theme explained this season’s horse prints among Wang’s roses and butterflies. There were plenty of her signature drapey, lacy, pretty dresses; a continuation of her elaborate, elongated tapestry and embroidery slippers. It was the shape of her handbags that stood out though. The argument for carrying firearms as self-defense isn’t as loud in a society like the U.K. as it is in the USA and others.
