Unravel the Genderless Dresscode

In the previous episode, renowned stylist, Mayao, and Derek Chan, designer and founder of cult label DEMO, shared with us what genderless fashion is. This time, they further bring forward genderless fashion and visualise the design in front of us. They also demonstrate how to apply genderless fashion to daily life by integrating fabric, cutting and functionality into the piece, making it more than just a stage look which not only fashion icons can wear.

About Derek Chan

Founded by Hong Kong designer Derek Chan in 2014, DEMO is a fashion label that redefines masculinity and femininity, dismantles gender boundaries and brings together philosophy and poetry in designs created to defy expectations. The aesthetics and attitude exuded in Chan’s work are beyond imagination. The brand’s signature style of soft masculinity is brought to life with handmade embellishments and embroidery, rich textiles such as tweed, and classical elements which are contrasted with contemporary styling to subvert stereotypes.
