J’EN – Bespoke Knitwear Brand Collection, An Abstract Manifestation of a Desired Fantasyland

WANDERLAND Jungmin’s FW23 collection

Wanderland is an experimental knitwear collection inspired by the imaginative mystic world she dreams of running away from. When developing the garments, the designer, Jungmin Chun, immersed herself in the unconventional native world of unseeable entities that aroused her curiosity about the unknown. Inspired by isolation, this raw, uncertain imaginative world was given life from the unreleased and shackled creative energy during times of restriction in this innovative fantasy world, where Jungmin herself is the explorer and adventurer, intrigued by distinctive organic forms and natural, spontaneous gestures of a variety of newly discovered organisms.

 The Wanderland knitwear collection is an abstract manifestation of this fantasyland that she is yearning to escape to.

Techniques 

Each piece of garment is crafted on a knitting machine with different knitting techniques and fully fashioned, creating zero waste for sustainability. Textiles are developed from scratch, incorporating a unique sense of aesthetics and diverse use of natural fibers to materialize the artistic fantasyland.

The process of crafting is intuitive and spontaneous, giving her the freedom for creativity and internal reflection. She doesn’t like to have any fixed patterns or rules in her practice but prefers to focus on arbitrary intuitions as it allows her to express herself best in a state of uncertainty. 

Through different materials and textures, the design delivers diverse tactile experiences for the wearer and invites them into the fantastical nature of textiles. The wearers feel alive and expressive by experiencing these garments.
