In the midst of never ending consumption, movement, and transition, is it possible to slow down for air? Life brings new beginnings, and before things can reach their natural conclusions, new excitements and worries arise. Our lives are constantly in flux - moving so fast we cannot stop to exhale.
Exhibition “Collection #00: Prologue” represents the first breath of fashion designer Jingu Jun’s The Last Garment, a creative organization dedicated to selfhood fashion - the boiling down of one’s personal style to its essence through the creation of daily uniforms. In a world pushed by an unrelenting pressure forwards toward an undefined end, we can find comfort, security, and consistency through our clothes. Woven by hand with artfully selected fabrics, each uniform seeks to act as your place of solace and assurance, allowing you to reclaim your own essence through uniformity.
The Last Garment is an organization dedicated to selfhood fashion — boiling down your personal style to its essence through the creation of daily uniforms. Led by designer Jingu Jun, we create classic and timeless looks by hand, tailored to your life. Our hope is to inspire and empower you to dress as your truest self.

Solid is a matter of presence, and Void is the absence of it. Solid marks its presence by the physical experiences through all different senses; Void means nothingness, like a featureless terrain, it translates to a focus on the spaces in between the physical experiences and implied contexts.
What will happen when the boundary between solid and void is re-scripted?

On Sep 9, SNOW XUE GAO presented its Spring/Summer 2022 collection on the third day of New York Fashion Week in theBLANC Studios.
The presentation was accompanied by a live classical pianist, while stationary models donned her newest collection that was pattern-filled, and featured floral silks and tailored houndstooth. Tailored blazers that draped the body and delicate camisoles were given structure with pleating and a mixing of textures.
Bold accessories—which were a collaboration with artist TengTeng—added a bit of Victorian bling.
