Rising Chinese designer Masha Ma took over Paris with her fluid aesthetic and industrial leanings. The CSM alum offered a staggering array of pieces featuring leather, pinstripe revival, reworked floral motives reminiscent of those in iconic Chinese qipao dresses, and mesh. The collection, true to the brand ethos, presented exquisite androgynous and oversized tailoring, round off and feminized by pointy mules and thigh high boots in vibrant colours. Paying homage to Wong Kar-wai’s sequel to the 1991’s Days of Being Wild titled 2046, the cast featured all Asian models in a powerful statement worthy of futurist romanticism.
