What they're saying about Museum of FriendshipMuseum of Friendship raccoglie e riflette ricordi indimenticabili, emozioni e esperienze che sono condivisi esclusivamente tra “amiche”.
Momo Wang, diplomata alla prestigiosa Central Saint Martins di Londra, si è dedicata per anni a produzioni artigianali con cui ha riscosso un discreto successo e che le hanno permesso di farsi conoscere a livello internazionale. A febbraio 2014 ha lanciato il suo primo marchio di abbigliamento.
La sua quarta collezione (Autunno Inverno 2015-16) è stata presentata durante la London Fashion Week di febbraio all’HMS Wellington. Si chiama Iceland Saga e racconta la storia di due ragazze che stanno per iniziare una nuova vita su un’isola. Un viaggio intrapreso da due persone, ma fatto per tutti.
London-based fashion brand Museum of Friendship, founded by Chinese women’s wear designer Momo Wang in 2014, has unveiled its 16SS collection recently at Shanghai Fashion Week. Momo was inspired by her trip to Tokyo, and by the look of the students who go back home after school, and thus comes the name of the collection ‘After School’. She tries to rebuild the scenes of the 90s based on her girlhood memory and understanding of the youth culture. A Central Saint Martins graduate, Momo Wang is a recipient of second runner-up at the L’Oréal Professional Talent Awards 2011. She also won the Textprint Award in the same year. Prior to launching MOF, Momo presented various craft collections, and all were well received.
Though trained in textile design, Momo prefers to think beyond the individual textile, constructing garments from colorful fabric scraps she finds in random places, including night markets from her hometown back in China. Her works are an intricate mingling of mismatched fabrics and techniques, including PCV with pearl embellishments, and crocheted strips of potato sacks.
