Tokyo based designer LEONARD WONG plays with the old and new, resulting in a perfect juxtaposition between traditional and futuristic fashion. His designs are minimalistic yet timeless. Not one to conform, he feels that like time, fashion is a process that develops and metamorphoses as classic and elegant clothing remains constant and always en vogue. Born in Shanghai, Wong graduated from Japan’s prestigious Bunka Fashion College in 2013. He is a finalist for the Italian Vogue young fashion designers award.
The nail, as this video is aptly named, is one of the the most basic structures which man have used through the ages to join objects together. In this video the nail takes us on a journey from ancient Egypt through to futuristic London all the while changing little and maintaining minimalistic elegance, reflecting the ethereal geometricity of LEONARD WONG’s designs.
