Debuting at the start of the Year of the Dragon — the fifth of the 12-year Chinese zodiac — this collection is inspired by the folktale of the four dragons.
In this story, four dragons live in the Eastern Sea: the Long Dragon 長龍, the Yellow Dragon 黃龍, the Black Dragon 黑龍 and the Pearl Dragon 珠龍. The dragons learn that humans are suffering from a long drought, and in defiance of the Jade Emperor, they decide to bring rain. As punishment for their disobedience, the Jade Emperor imprisons them beneath four mountains — yet, ever-determined to help humanity, the dragons turn themselves into the four great rivers of China: the Changjiang (Long River), the Huanghe (Yellow River), the Heilongjian (Black River), and the Zhujiang (Pearl River).
The clothes in this collection are a blend of contemporary streetwear and traditional Chinese clothing, while the scenes invoke traditional painting.
