Master of Mess

March 01, 2018

In essence, Master of Mess is the meeting of minds. The artistic endeavor is a dual effort— driven by Ximon Lee, in collaboration with musical artist Pan Daijing, who has created a piece dedicated to the designer's Fall/Winter 2018 collection.

The project, a series of performance and installation pieces, was presented at Paris Fashion Week alongside Ximon's avant-garde attire. Pan Daijing's strange, shocking soundscape and sensory performance piece felt perfectly fitting for such a cerebral collection.

The evocative experience had a tangible element that truly encapsulated the eerie elegance and textural complexity of Ximon's conceptual, creative approach to couture. But what they've given us with Master of Mess was best put by the masters themselves. This, is the "melancholic gaze into the tangled inner paths of their minds."
