Chet Lo’s collections have always been deeply personal but none more so than SS25 which celebrates the bond between him and his mother Mai-Wah Cheung, who has had an illustrious career spanning computer sciences, digital media, art and education.
This season’s collection is inspired by Chet’s mother, and the thread that intrinsically connects us as human beings.
Hair lead, Anna Cofone, brought her stylistic mastery to the show using premium vegan haircare brand Authentic Beauty Concept to support the overall look. Anna Cofone, Global Creative Advocate for Authentic Beauty Concept explains the hair: “The hair, which is inspired directly by the clothing, seeks to create a thread across the distinct patterns mimicked in the hair, but also as an evolution from the first collection that I worked with Chet back in September 2022, which also consisted of printed veils. The patterned veils sit on beautifully groomed hair that is hydrated and healthy.”
Hair & Care Project
Anna is also the founder of Hair & Care Project – an organisation who work to make fashion accessible for those visually impaired. Chet has always been inclusive in his model casting and immediately agreed to make his show more accessible by offering an audio description during the show and a booklet of swatches for guests to understand the work that went into his collection through touch.
