Fashion Forward: Twinkle by Wenlan’s Fairytale Fantasy

Twinkle by Wenlan filled Bryant Park’s Promenade tent with delight, inviting us into a world of fantasy and whimsy. Infused with fairytale elements, the collection unfolded naturally, telling the story of the urban fashionista who escapes the daily reality, to reconnect with the natural, folk roots. She effortlessly enters the realm of imagination, and returns more inspired than ever, to incorporate a playful mix of textures, hues and silhouettes into her wardrobe.

From a rich palette of mauve, cinnamon red, olive green and royal blue, to delicate snow and vanilla hues, to classic black and white, Wenlan’s pieces exude youthful exuberance through their patterns and cuts—whether geometric, sharp and fitted, layered, or draped.The highlights of the collection include the luxurious, cinched chunky knits with oversized collars, sexy sweater dresses with unexpectedly low-cut backs, and the cute and playful bubble dresses.

Exposed zippers, studded, metallic details and twisted, statement necklaces, with jewelry designed by Wenlan herself, add a certain edge.
