JUST IN XX is bringing Eastern culture to the West with a renewed energy through each distinctive design in its FW20 collection.
The Taiwanese designer, founded by Justin Yu-Ying Chou, showcased the new collection during NYFW: The Shows 2020 on Monday (February 10) at Spring Studios in New York City and proved that he does indeed blaze a distinct trail in the fashion industry.
Dubbed “Double Imprint,” the pieces for next season are influenced greatly by contemporary artist Tsong Pu, whose work has shaped the landscape of Western postwar minimalism.
Dominated by matrix structures, Pu’s art is widely recognized for its striking organizational structure and sense of freedom within dynamic geometrical borders. It’s this melding of old and new perspectives that attracts Yu-Ying Chou to Pu’s work. Inspired specifically by Pu’s use of continuous square matrices, Chou has modeled his latest designs using digital print patterns and three-dimensional jacquards.

By adapting Pu’s meticulous attention to form and blending it with JUST IN XX’s modern stylized DNA, Chou illustrates the concept of this mixed-medium fashion through each piece in the collection. Square pockets and gingham are married in delicate contrast with edgy PVC material, metal and wool. Each piece is a return to the classic wardrobe, reimagined. Fusing unique aesthetic and structure with special attention to create a marriage of fashion and art, of modern and classic.
In this latest collection, JUST IN XX brings a balanced and exciting mixture of elements to the fashion world. It is a distinctive new chapter in the fashion label’s compelling history.
