In China, where Wang originates, it is understood that there are six senses not five \u2013 an additional one that resides in the mind and consists of impressions, feelings, perceptions and volition. This realm of impressions and feelings is not a black and white one, but one of many shades. Wang is learning to embrace the grey area, which is demonstrated very literally in this season\u2019s colour palette where ash meets charcoal, gunmetal and silver \u2013 with the addition of an electric yellow. There is a focus on the body once more, with flesh tones employed, along with skin-like textures such as leather. The way fabric covers and interacts with the human form is subverted and magnified: rumples becomes ruching which, in turn, becomes Jenny Saville-like rolls. Material is gathered around the body and clothing becomes cocooning, perhaps reflecting a fundamental human need: to feel safe.

Wang, whose work is known to reflect a well-defined worldview, speaks of being greatly inspired by her day-to-day interactions.
