Why it belongs in ORBIS
Beijing menswear label founded by designer Sean Suen in 2012, known for fluid tailoring blending Chinese craft references with Western construction; stocked in Paris including through a concession at the Printemps department store.
Sean Suen founded his eponymous menswear label in Beijing in 2012, developing a design language he describes as an Eastern aesthetic dialogue with Western structures. The label made its Paris Fashion Week debut for Spring/Summer 2016 and has since become a regular presence on the men's fashion week schedule, building a reputation for sharply constructed outerwear and post-modern silhouettes. More recent collections have explored gender fluidity through the interplay of Western and Chinese sartorial references. In Paris, Sean Suen pieces are sold through a concession at Printemps department store.
