JH.ZANE RESORT 2018
17/07/2017 - Margaux Warin

Based in London, JH. Zane was created and imagined by Juhao Zeng. The ex-freelance-designer worked with Katie Eary and Gareth Pugh, before launching his own clothing line in 2013. The young designer reflected on, imagined, and finally created his brand over the course of two years, a period of time he considered necessary to reveal a strong identity. JH.Zane is multi-facetted; its collections are made up of deconstructed androgynous tailoring and dresses with voluminous balloon sleeves, neutral tones and explosions of colour and patterns. Every season its silhouette changes and evolves, but Zeng's vision of women stays the same: feminine, strong, and androgynous. He is without doubt the rising London-based designer to watch.
