After having shaped the world around us, what is the role of the designer in a society that wants to make us super-human?

IN OUR NAME Belgium - CPHFW @yentse_official⁠ was founded in 2021 by Yanze Jin, originally from China, after graduating from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. YENTSÉ sells luxury women’s and men’s clothing and leather accessories. Although the brand is based in Antwerp, Yanze finds a lot of inspiration in Eastern culture. The YENTSÉ silhouette brings both cultures together in a unique way that is independent of time and place. The flowing lines and organic shapes of the East meet the structure of the West in the designs.⁠ VISIT THE DESIGNER IN COPENHAGEN⁠ 📍Copenhagen Fashion Week⁠ (CPHFW)⁠ @inournamebelgium⁠ Presentation Tuesday, 8 August 2024,  9 AM -  4 PM⁠ The Roe Studio - Møntergade 3, 1116 Copenhagen⁠ RSVP InOurNameBelgium@spaltpr.com ⁠ More info on IN OUR NAME Belgium ⬇️ ⁠https://lnkd.in/edZxvrm5 In collaboration with @mad.brussels⁠ @flandersdcforfashion⁠ #inournamebelgium #belgianfashion #womenswear #menswear #belgiandesigner #sustainablefashion⁠ ⁠with @spalt-pr
