Hyperfly, Jasper Wong, the NBA, & WNBA Join to #StopAsianHate
Hyperfly works in collaboration with Jasper Wong, who is the founder of POW! WOW! Worldwide on a new collection. This is also made possible with the contributions of the NBA and WNBA as well. The purpose behind the new designs is to celebrate Asian culture and support the #StopAsianHate movement.
The collection is marked by cultural icongraphy, spotlighted by dragons, phoenixes, and other emblems that honor Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures. Wong talks about what the motifs mean, “The dragon represents good luck, strength, and health. Oftentimes people that live in excellence and perform outstanding feats are compared to dragons, whereas the phoenix is centered around high virtues and grace. The various aspects of the phoenix hold meaning, such as the head being ‘virtue’, the wing is ‘duty’, the back is ‘propriety’, the abdomen is ‘credibility’ and the chest is ‘mercy.’”
