Zhang Peng

Zhang Peng, the founder and Art Director of JUMPER ZHANG, is a celebrated figure in the world of fashion design. With invitations to design for the prestigious Trands brand, Zhang has been recognized as China's Best Womenswear Designer and has received nominations for Best Menswear Designer. His talent and creativity have placed him among the Top Ten Fashion Designers in China, earning accolades such as the "Golden Scissors" awards in both Liaoning Province and Dalian City. Zhang's leadership extends to his roles as the Vice President of the Liaoning Province Fashion Designers Association and the Dalian City Fashion Designers Association, as well as a committee member of the China Fashion Designers Association Fashion Art Committee. His artistic prowess is not limited to fashion alone; Zhang is also a national champion in Tai Chi Quan and Tai Chi Sword at the National Martial Arts Championships.

In May 2023, Zhang expanded his influence by opening the JUMPER ZHANG Paris Studio. His designs have graced the pages of renowned fashion magazines like VOGUE, BAZZAR, ELLE, Fashion COSMO, Rayli, and Marie Claire. Zhang's cross-industry collaborations have spanned notable names such as China Resources Group's Grand Hyatt Hotels, Chow Tai Fook, Huawei, LVMH's Guerlain, VOSS, Queenlin Qilin, and Dayang Creation.

While skillfully blending Eastern aesthetics with contemporary haute couture, Zhang Peng opened a boutique in Vancouver in March 2024. This marks his first store in North America, signifying the international expansion and increased influence of his brand.

Zhang's latest collection revolves around the theme "Circle," drawing inspiration from humanity's reverence and worship of the sun—one of China's oldest abstract decorative patterns. This concept is articulated through the traditional and ubiquitous "circle flower pattern." JUMPER ZHANG interprets this motif with a blend of haute couture techniques such as bead embroidery, needlework, appliqué, layering, weaving, and rhinestone decoration, all meticulously crafted by hand. This collection not only pays homage to the beauty of the natural world through the form of flowers but also encapsulates Zhang's deep respect for traditional Chinese aesthetics, re-imagined through the lens of contemporary high fashion.
