Merit Award for AW13/14 Winner: Yifang Wan

"Limits of the Body and Possibilities of the Mind"

Yifang Wan Autumn/Winter 2013 exhilarating and elegant collection deployed fine cashmere wool tunics, overcoats, tailored pants and dresses using four puritanical shades comprising jet-black, dark violet, indigo and deep emerald.

The collection is inspired by the extreme self-restraint of an ascetic life. Garments were accompanied by an array of sharp stainless steel weapon-like accessories restraining the physical body from mental flagellation and worldly pleasures.

Yifang Wan won the highly acclaimed Fashion Scout Merit Award for AW13/14 and was chosen by a panel of judges including Hilary Alexander, Rebekah Roy and Jessica Bumpus.
