Robert Wun’s Homecoming: A Visionary Couture Lookbook
Our take on this beautiful collection: In September 2024, Robert Wun marked a triumphant return to his roots with a groundbreaking couture showcase at CENTRESTAGE Hong Kong. Now, with the release of the official lookbook for his Homecoming collection, the designer offers an intimate glimpse into the artistry and emotion behind each creation.Photographed against stark, minimalist backdrops, the lookbook amplifies the surreal beauty of Wun’s work, where nostalgia and kinship meet the delicate tension of beauty and pain. Iconic pieces like the "Adele" raindrop dress, with its suspended droplets that evoke rainfall frozen in time, are given new depth, their intricate craftsmanship revealed in striking close-ups.
The collection’s tribute to Kwan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, emerges as a powerful fusion of tradition and innovation. Fluid 3D-printed structures add a futuristic touch while honoring cultural heritage, encapsulating Wun’s exploration of duality: strength and softness, past and future.Standout moments include the "Riot Dress," adorned with cascading glass beads that shimmer like a tempest in motion, and the "Bleeding Love" dress, embellished with scarlet crystals that weave a poignant tale of sacrifice and truth. Each piece is a testament to Wun’s unparalleled ability to transform fabric into storytelling.
Robert Wun’s Homecoming collection is more than couture—it is a deeply personal narrative that bridges heritage with boundary-pushing innovation. This lookbook cements his status as a visionary, redefining the art of modern couture with creations that resonate far beyond the runway.
