Ready-To-Wear





︎The term, shanzhai, connotes a positive outlook on copyright infringement as its etymology suggests a Robin Hood-esque story where items are taken and shared democratically. In the same vein, Ready-to-Wear brings high fashion to the masses, while also acknowledging the paradoxical world of mass-produced luxury. Both bootleg and promotional, the collection straddles the line between cheap Chinatown knock-offs and ironic, high-end advertising.
