ALEX S. YU creates collections of garments that explore the fine line
between reality and fantasy. His aesthetics rollick the happy emotions of
childhood, nostalgia and wanderlust; and ponder the very definition of
femininity in a modern, quirky way through garments. The ALEX S. YU girl
loves to have fun, and isn't afraid of trying new things. They love colour,
prints, quirky shapes, textures, and most importantly, values comfort. They
are eccentric, lively, nonchalant and views life through a pair of rose tinted
glasses. ALEX S. YU creates a line of contemporary womenswear with a twist
of avant garde experimental attitude. He plays with proportions, colour
blocking and unusual silhouettes while mixing and using different colours and
fabric weights in one garment.
