Angelina Zhang is a creative, diligent and aspiring fashion designer, who graduated from London College of Fashion, class of 2024. Growing up in diverse and multi-cultural cities, she is highly influenced by her Chinese cultural heritage and the movement and balance of the natural world. She incorporates materials of natural fibres such as linen, cotton, silk and wool within her designs. Silhouettes are loose fitted and androgynous with neutral colours influenced by the eastern culture of Zen. The ideas of sustainability are expressed through exploration of experimental zero waste subtraction pattern cutting.
The brand A.N.G, also known as Atelier: Nameless Garments, aims to create avant-garde garments that are ambiguous, natural and genderless. With a selection of comfortable and timeless garments made from natural fibre materials, A.N.G forms a safe space and embrace room for movement of the body. Designs are developed to be sustainable, incorporating multiple ways of wearing and styling on different types of body shapes. A.N.G is constructed upon the collision of spiritual elements inspired by the Yin Yang philosophy and Chinese culture. Inspired by the mysterious mountain and natural landscapes of the East, A.N.G enforces an ideal style of solitude in every stitch within the garments.
The SS25 Collection focuses on the theme of connection between human and nature. Exploring the freedom of movements in nature and how it corresponds to the body. The use of raw edges and keeping selvedge edges of the natural linen fabric creates an emphasis on rawness and naturalness to the garments while also reducing waste production. The prints, colours, shapes and textures for this collection is influenced by the five elements of the natural world; Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. The garments can be worn in multiple ways with intricate detail on fastenings and construction. Allowing the wearer to explore and interact with the nameless garments, making their own memories and giving them life.
