Ray Chu

Against the backdrop of an opulently set dining table, Taiwanese designer Ray Chu unveiled a gender-fluid, eco-conscious collection rooted in the quiet resilience of the Blue Cypress Tree. The runway moved between restraint and drama — from sleek, minimalist looks like a crisp matching red set, to statement pieces such as a sweeping cream jacket layered to architectural effect.

Crafted with asymmetric cuts and sculptural silhouettes from soft, biodegradable SECAO fibres, Chu’s work reframed sustainability not as limitation, but as a catalyst for boundary-pushing design.
