KINYAN LAM Fall/Winter 2025 / FW25 at HKFG Paris Fashion Week

We All Die a Little Every Day. It was a strange dream, a blend of past life memories, or perhaps a surreal vision. I was with two friends, both of whom felt unfamiliar yet significant. We were on vacation, wandering down a lively street lined with coconut trees, chatting and simply enjoying ourselves. The sky blazed with orange and purple, casting an otherworldly glow over everything. Suddenly, we noticed spherical objects spinning above, resembling colourful planets. Amid our wonder, screams erupted. I turned just in time to see a giant fireball hurtling toward us. In an instant, my body dissolved and melted away without struggle or pain. My consciousness then drifted into a surreal, dimensionless void, a flat black expanse. There, I floated with those two friends, our forms now white and translucent. We were in a triangular formation, and after exchanging a silent glance, we slowly turned and drifted apart. When I awoke, I was struck by how vividly alive I felt. That fleeting dream seemed to encompass countless memories—of this life, past lives, and from other worlds. In the grand tapestry of the universe, I felt small, not insignificant, but humbled by the scale of it all.

KINYAN LAM FW25 / Fall/Winter 2025, the Volume 3 collection captures the ethereal essence of the dream through hand-stitched textures and natural dyes. Starry layers, silhouetted figures and coconut tree motifs evoke its surreal landscape, mirroring the dream’s vivid imagery. A sun-lit box symbolizing transition from shadow to light, aligning with the theme of transformation and revelation. Interplay of light and shadow accentuates the garments’ textures and craftsmanship, creating a cinematic and evocative atmosphere.
