Unveiling ‘DONG’: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity
In a spectacular showcase at Shanghai’s C·PARK, FILA FUSION and TEAM WANG design have officially launched their much-anticipated crossover collaboration capsule, ‘DONG’. This event marks the first collaboration between the trendy sports brand FILA FUSION and the versatile high street fashion brand TEAM WANG design. ‘DONG’, curated by creative director Jackson Wang, is a harmonious blend of Eastern philosophy and dynamic movement, symbolizing a powerful ethos of “Movement from the East.”
Innovative Design Meets Versatility
The ‘DONG’ collection, drawing inspiration from the adrenaline-pumping sport of parkour, ingeniously integrates Jackson Wang’s personal sporting preferences with FILA FUSION’s iconic apparel. The capsule showcases a fusion of traditional oriental printing and dyeing techniques with a modern gradient of iconic blue and black hues. This blend is not just a meeting of colors but also of cultures, encapsulating TEAM WANG design’s gender-neutral ethos and FILA FUSION’s sporty, trendy vibe. It’s a testament to the minimalist trend popular among contemporary youth, who fluidly transition between sport and everyday life.
A Message from the Creative Minds
Jackson Wang, the creative force behind ‘DONG’, shares, “As a brand representing the Orient, TEAM WANG design desires to convey our shared beliefs and visions, as well as the importance of「DONG」for each of us. We constantly seek our own paths to happiness in the world we live in, moving towards our dreams and life destination. All the unseen perseverance becomes meaningful because of our passion. This challengeable journey with ups and downs always broadens our understanding of life. However, please believe that we ourselves are core of it all. In the midst of difficulties and obstacles, you are the answer, not someone else, nor something external. Keeping moving forward, KNOW YOURSELF, MAKE YOUR OWN HISTORY.”
Kelly Jiang, President of FILA FUSION, reflects on the collaboration’s genesis, “This is one of the major markets moves carried out by FUSION after the release of our new brand strategy, and ‘STAY IN FUSION’ concept earlier this year. The diverse vitality of FUSION and its advocacy for young trendy sports align well with the ‘KNOW YOURSELF, MAKE YOUR OWN HISTORY’ encouraged by TEAM WANG design. The shared concept destined this collaboration to break the routine, integrate differences, and bring a new experience.”
