Youjia Jin’s new FW2017 menswear collection was inspired by school uniforms.  She believes that many of us had a love/hate relationship with our school uniforms, however, they also remind memories of the old school days.  Youjia also wanted us to revisit some childhood feelings, including fear such as the fear of monsters under the bed, as well as joy, through the grow up journey into the world.  Traditional elements, such as pleats, and luxurious and comfortable materials like wool and silk have been used.

Youjia Jin is a Chinese born London based fashion designer.
