Jacques Wei Shanghai Fall 2024 collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
There is a singular species of cactus that blooms for only an hour or two during a select few summer nights each year. The petals of the, known variously as the “queen of the night” and Tan Hua, blossom abundantly but wilt before dawn. Its ephemeral beauty has long been the stuff of legend, most recently—and perhaps most famously—mythologized in the movie“What kind of beauty only blooms once a year?” asked Jacques Wei designer Donghui Wei at an appointment the day after his show in Shanghai.
Fashion is not unlike the bloom in question. This is an industry built on the idea of beauty’s transience, where a designer’s best and most perfect output is presented twice a year for 15 or so minutes, and has a shelf life of around six months. Wei crafted his own definition of evanescent beauty here, with a collection that was equal parts timeless and decisivelyTo his credit, he wasn’t too literal with his iterations of the flower.
Underneath the bells and whistles were well made, easy to wear clothes. The single-button shirting and leather waistband skirts look like instant classics. The spell that Wei so confidently conjured on his runway was one that transformed the fugitive beauty of a fleeting bloom into a wardrobe one will want to live in way beyond a single season.
