Dingyun Zhang, a Chinese designer and Central Saint Martins graduate, launched his eponymous label in 2021 after gaining industry recognition for his work with Yeezy. Based in Shanghai, the brand is defined by its sculptural and voluminous silhouettes, particularly its signature puffer jackets that treat outerwear as a form of protective armor. Zhang draws inspiration from the functionality of clothing in extreme environments, the resilience of rural communities, and the aesthetics of nature, from deep-sea creatures to barren landscapes. This utilitarian approach is blended with a futuristic vision, resulting in avant-garde yet wearable pieces.
