IZZY DU, a Central Saint Martins alumni, has designed two new collections for Spring/Summer 2023. The designer’s ready-to-wear line dubbed ‘LIFELINE’ accompanies her new runway collection ‘PROVENANCE.’ The ready-to-wear line consists of versatile and wearable options that stay tune with the Chinese-Canadian designer's signature style, while the runway collection consists of more avant-garde, eye-catching looks like warped dresses, boots, pants, and jackets.
‘LIFELINE’ features standout pieces like gradient puffer vests, loose-fitted trousers, voluminous pants, and puffy shoulder bags. Elsewhere in the release, ‘PROVENANCE’ offers cut-out garments, power-shouldered tops, and futuristic patterning.
The range is showcased in a series of visuals that feature a variety of models in the collection's offerings, backgrounded by a sandy dune.
