The presentation commenced with a sophisticated black theme, featuring 25 models with intricate headpieces made of fresh flowers, silk flowers, and white porcelain. The models’ makeup, evocative of ink paintings, added to the collection’s ethereal and refined aesthetic, which perfectly captured female elegance while also highlighting Chan’s personal and brand growth over twelve years. The number twelve also stands for twelve characteristics – purity, courage, charm, resilience, endurance, passion, freedom, heroism, independence, clarity, responsibility, and authenticity – that Chan wanted to portray in his collection.

Like protagonists taking turns to shine, each piece of clothing had a unique personality, depicting innocence, bravery, responsibility, charm, and resilience, showcasing the radiant feminine spirit.
