Founded in 2016 in London, Kwaidan Editions is the collaborative effort of Léa Dickely, a print and textile developer from Alsace, and Hung La, a Vietnamese-American ready-to-wear designer who honed his skills at Balenciaga and Céline. The married couple first met in 2004 as students at Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Arts, and forged a creative partnership based on transforming the traditional into the cinematically unfamiliar. (The name of Dickely and La’s label, as it happens, is borrowed from the title of Masaki Kobayashi’s horror film Kwaidan, which translates to “strange stories.”) The spring-summer 2020 collection, produced in small ateliers in Italy and France, sees expertly cut denim jackets, satin slip dresses, and taffeta parachute coats in a contrasting palette of black and neon green, rounded out with simple heeled slide sandals and the brand’s sought-after Lady Bag.
