Calvin Chan and Joyce Kun, co-founders of Hong Kong-based menswear label The World is Your Oyster, talks to us about hope and turmoil, poetic soils and subverting conversations in menswear.
While the womenswear market is somewhat saturated, an exciting, sparser world of menswear has bought forth a whole host of interesting, often radical propositions. The changing notions of masculinity and romanticism in the modern era have pushed designers to express this through their creativity and energy.
Calvin Chan and Joyce Kun started their label theworldisyouroyster.net in 2014, going on to show at Shanghai Fashion Week and being tapped in 2017 one of the “10 Asian Designers to Watch” for Fashion Asia in Hong Kong.
