Titled ‘Capsule 5’, BUERLANGMA has created a collection divided into five distinct yet interconnected sections, each exploring the intricate relationship between nature, human culture, and historical influences.
And to commemorate the 40th anniversary of London Fashion Week, models wore oversized black coats, which they removed to reveal intricate dresses beneath, symbolising the evolution of fashion over the past four decades.
A standout feature of this collection is a series of masks inspired by traditional Manchu ethnic clothing, showcasing the brand’s commitment to marrying cultural heritage with contemporary design.
Qiqi Yuan draws inspiration from personal memories into the collection with nostalgic elements, such as clothing techniques reminiscent of Chinese origami, a craft deeply embedded in festival traditions and the collective memory of modern China.
The five sub-themes —Desire, Power, Degenerate Peace, and Vold — reflect Yuan’s commentary on society through past, present, and future lenses.
Yuan states “This brings us a lot of thinking. Hundreds of years ago, fashion was decided by the nobles. In today’s era, fashion is no longer entirely determined by a person or organisation with power. Such a huge disparity makes us feel that this is the best manifestation of the vitality of fashion.
“Nowadays, fashion is no longer exclusive to a certain class, but a story that flows through everyone.”
The brand’s name, BUERLANGMA, carries significant symbolism: ‘BUER’ signifies uniqueness, while ‘LANGMA’, derived from the Tibetan term for Mount Everest, symbolises the pinnacle of achievement within the fashion industry.
